The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) issued this circular to all interested stakeholders, including CSDs, investment firms, and trading venues, to outline preparedness for regulatory changes under the Central Securities Depositories Regulation (CSDR) and the transition to T+1 settlement. It reminds market participants to complete T+1 readiness surveys by June 9, 2026, and highlights that the first key regulatory milestone for allocations and confirmations is targeted for December 7, 2026, requiring completion by 23:00 CET on the trade date using standardized electronic formats. The MFSA strongly encourages stakeholders to review ESMA's consultation on revised guidelines for T+1 allocations and confirmations and to accelerate internal assessments and coordination for timely compliance.
