Market Abuse Regulation

The EU Market Abuse Regulation prohibits insider dealing, unlawful disclosure of inside information, and market manipulation. It has significant extraterritorial effect, and applies to instruments listed or traded on a variety of EU venues. The regime under the EU Market Abuse Regulation has been maintained in the UK post-Brexit, but applies to instruments listed or traded in the EU even if they are not listed or traded in the UK, which maintains the pre-Brexit scope, and so captures market abuse across both UK and EU markets.
