Finansinspektionen Regulations on Product Intervention for Contracts for Differences (CFDs)
Finansinspektionen prohibits the marketing, distribution, and sale of Contracts for Differences (CFDs) to retail clients unless specific protective measures are implemented. These exemptions require providers to enforce initial margin, margin close-out, and negative balance protections while banning inducements and mandating standardized risk warnings. The regulations further prescribe detailed calculation methods for loss percentages and specify minimum initial margin requirements based on the underlying asset type.
