Current MiFID regulations date back to 2004, but are being revised to improve the functioning of financial markets following the financial crisis of a decade ago, while further strengthening investor protection.
MiFID II brings a whole plethora of changes to bear for financial firms
With MiFID II starting in less than 100 days, firms around the globe are being forced to take a hard look at their electronic communications practices and assess how they align with the new regulations.
