SSR Reporting
The Short Selling Regulation (SSR) reporting regime requires investors to disclose significant net short positions in EU-listed shares and sovereign debt to the relevant competent authorities to ensure market transparency and mitigate systemic risk.
Overview
SSR aims to enhance the transparency of short positions in certain EU securities, reduce settlement risks and other risks linked with naked short selling, and empower Member States to intervene in exceptional situations to reduce systemic risks, financial instability, and market confidence issues.
Article 5 and 7 of SSR require natural and legal persons to report net short positions in issued share capital — provided the principal venue for trading venue is not a third country — and in issued sovereign debt. Such positions must be reported whenever they reach, exceed, or fall below the relevant notification thresholds.
