Under the new Guidelines on Regulated Short Selling of Corporate Bonds, Principal Dealers are now permitted to conduct regulated short selling of corporate bonds, expanding the range of bonds that can be short sold.
The Guidelines aim to provide certainty as to the parties who would be permitted to conduct short selling of corporate bonds as well as the requirements involved. Conditions on how regulated short selling of corporate bonds are to be conducted have also been put in place.
The Guidelines on Regulated Short Selling of Corporate Bonds took effect on 13 April 2017.
