Draft Securities Industry (Securities Lending and Borrowing and Short Selling) Guidelines 2026
The draft guidelines mandate that securities lending and borrowing transactions occur only on exchanges or approved trading systems, requiring collateral of at least 100% of the loaned securities' value and the use of approved master agreements. Short selling is restricted to licensed market makers and primary dealers, permitted only for specific eligible securities, and requires documentary evidence of borrowing arrangements. The rules establish strict net short position reporting thresholds, requiring notification to the Commission at 0.1% and public disclosure at 0.5% of issued share capital for shares, and at 0.5% for government bonds.
