This response proposes key changes to the UK Listing Regime that we believe will promote a competitive market while retaining high standards of governance, transparency and shareholder protection.

Michael Cole-Fontayn, AFME Chairman, said:

“The UK Listing Regime Review is proposing to offer a fresh, compelling power of choice to prospective issuers and their advisors from around the world. Its proposals will provide more clarity and flexibility to the markets while still maintaining high standards of governance and transparency.  We believe these changes will be crucial in encouraging business to access equity markets in order to raise capital and fund growth.“
