Financial Markets
About
The Working Group Financial Markets was created in 2010 with the aim of supporting efficient, liquid, secure and transparent European wholesale energy markets. WG FM works to promote the competitiveness of European energy markets and to ensure that the European financial services framework appropriately addresses the special characteristics of the energy commodity derivatives markets and their participants.
WG FM works to promote efficient, liquid, secure and transparent wholesale energy derivatives markets that allow for proper price risk-management and contribute to the energy transition in Europe. The group is vocal in its support of a coherent regulatory framework that encourages market participants to trade on reliable, transparent exchanges.
Over the years, WG FM has focused on areas within European financial services regulation, such as MiFID II / MiFIR, EMIR, MAR, the Benchmark Regulation and others.
