On the basis of the package of measures to counteract the effects of the international financial crisis on Austria, as adopted by the Austrian Federal Government in a Cabinet meeting on October 8, 2008, the Austrian Financial Market Authority (FMA) has with immediate effect approved a petition from Wiener Börse AG for amendment to the trading rules:
- In the event of changes of more than 10% in the price of a financial instrument, Wiener Börse AG will suspend trading in this security temporarily or until revocation.
- So-called “short selling” of individual traded securities, or of all traded securities, can be prohibited temporarily or until revocation with immediate effect.
