In view of the current international market situation, the FMA is taking the following measures:
In close cooperation with Wiener Börse and the clearing agency, the FMA has introduced with immediate effect a programme to monitor trading activities with regard to short selling. The focus of monitoring and investigation activities is on potential cases of market manipulation and unlawful insider dealing. The penalties for such misconduct include temporary or permanent exclusion from trading at Wiener Börse.
Beyond this, the FMA maintains close contact with the other European supervisory authorities and may take additional measures.
