Details

This economic impact assessment looks at the impact of proposed changes to the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID). The proposed measure on minimum resting times and transaction to order ratios is intended to decrease the speed at which markets operate and the cost in monitoring the information they generate.

This impact assessment was commissioned as part of the Foresight project on the future of computer trading.
