AFME has submitted its response to the initial set of consultations by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on Bond Transparency, Consolidated Tape Provider, and Reasonable Commercial Basis. AFME supports the objective of enhancing transparency in European bond markets, as it can lead to improved pricing and market participation. However, it is imperative the framework is carefully calibrated, with a strong focus on data analysis, particularly for less liquid segments of the bond market. We encourage ESMA to be mindful of market participants’ feedback on this consultation paper – they have suggested amendments to the drafting of the law to ensure that regulators will have a sound legal basis to prevent discriminatory pricing.
