AFM Decision on Deferred Publication of the Volume of Certain Transactions in Dutch Government Bonds
The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) has issued a decision permitting the deferred publication of transaction volumes for Dutch sovereign bonds classified under MiFIR Group 1 and Category 1. Market operators and investment firms operating trading venues must publish the volume of individual transactions between €15 million and €50 million no later than the end of the trading day, with all details released immediately after the deferral period expires. This measure aligns with EU-wide harmonised transparency rules and aims to protect liquidity providers from unnecessary risk while maintaining market integrity.
