The new European Union directive regulating capital markets called MIFID (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive) comes into effect on 1 November 2007 in European Union countries.
One of the most important elements of the new regulation is that the monopoly of stock exchanges will cease to exist and the creation of new market platforms will be allowed (MTFs).
The other priority of the regulation is the protection of customers. The aim is for retail customer to receive better service in a more transparent manner and at competitive prices. The implementation of the new directive could require investment service providers to alter their institutional structure and their business procedures as well as to carry out IT developments.
