ESMA updates, as of 11 November 2026, the list of market makers and authorised primary dealers using the exemption under the Short Selling Regulation (SSR). The list is published under Article 17(13) of the SSR and compiled from notifications by national competent authorities, country by country.
Key points
- List by Member State with the informing authority, the notified entity and its identification code (BIC).
- Separates market makers from authorised primary dealers in sovereign debt.
- The SSR has applied in Norway since 1 January 2017; in Iceland and Liechtenstein it will apply once incorporated into the EEA Agreement.
Who is affected
Market makers, primary dealers in government debt and national competent authorities.
Plain-language version
ESMA, the EU markets watchdog, has updated its list of banks allowed to short sell (sell shares or bonds they do not yet own) without some of the usual rules. They get this because their job is to keep prices available or to buy government debt, and the list shows who uses the exemption in each country.
