Federal Council extends duration of measure to protect Swiss stock exchange infrastructure and initiates consultation
Bern, 17.11.2021 - During its meeting on 17 November 2021, the Federal Council agreed to extend the measure to protect the Swiss stock exchange infrastructure, and to initiate the consultation procedure on incorporating it into ordinary law. These steps were made necessary by the expiry of the protective measure at the end of the year, and because the European Union (EU) has not yet recognised the equivalence of Swiss stock exchange regulation. The consultation on incorporating the protective measure into ordinary law will last until 4 March 2022.
