The EU is moving towards full implementation of the Investment Services Directive (ISD). Indeed, in some Member States, implementation has been or will he complemented by further changes to the domestic legal framework in order to cater more effectively for increased competition among financial institutions and markets. This book analyses these developments from a legal and economic perspective and includes papers written by academics and practitioners from Europe and the USA. Some papers examine critical aspects of the ISD from a comparative viewpoint, in particular considering whether further harmonisation would be appropriate. Special attention is paid to the regulation of financial exchanges in the new competitive arena and to the need for cooperation between supervisors.The volume is aimed at all those involved in European securities and derivatives markets in either a legal or economic capacity. It will be of prime interest to banking and financial lawyers, financial economists, regulators, exchanges and intermediaries. The book is one of the first and most comprehensive publications on the ISD implementation since it evaluates the economic impact of such implementation and considers further perspectives.
