Following the entry into effect on 3 July of the new Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) along with several pieces of Level 2 legislation, AMAFI expanded its FAQ to include new questions on market soundings that were discussed with AMF staff in January (AMAFI / 16-29).

In addition, work done in recent months to update the market abuse guide to incorporate MAR is nearing completion, and a draft was sent to the AMF for discussion in early 2017. The revised guide should be released in February.
