EU Benchmarks Governance

ESMA introduced a common framework and consistent approach to benchmark regulations across the EU.

It aims to ensure benchmarks are robust and reliable, and to minimise conflicts of interest in benchmarks setting processes. The European Benchmarking Regulation stipulates conditions for contributors, administrators and users.

With constantly changing regulations, it can be difficult to understand the requirements and to ensure that firms are fully compliant.
