The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) is the biggest change programme Europe’s capital markets have ever attempted. It takes all the protection away from Europe’s Stock Exchanges and forces investment banks, brokers and dealers to guarantee best execution. The organisational, process and technology changes demanded by the MiFID are massive. In order to understand these challenges, industry commentator Chris Skinner has gathered the views of Europe’s leading figures in the MiFID community to discuss its implications. From an introduction from the European Business School and European Commission, through the views of leaders in the key constituencies of MiFID Connect and the MiFID Joint Working Group, through to organisations supporting the markets such as Reuters and SWIFT, this book provides a 360-degree perspective of the world of investing in Europe’s markets after the MiFID implementation. Anyone who has anything to do with dealing, trading and investing in European equities and instruments will find this book an essential guide to the markets now and into the future. With this book as their guide, readers will understand: • The key MiFID business issues • How to implement the directive • How it will affect the markets once it comes into force

This book explores how the wild beast of finance can be better understood and controlled. Using the framework of exchange and regulation, European capital markets are analyzed and it is shown that a common European area of financial exchange has developed. Concerning financial regulation, one can see that the EU has become the most dominant rule setter and the regulation established can be interpreted as being of a statutory kind. Showing the shortcomings of this process, the set-up of a more transparent mega-regulator to control all financial market segments and financial agents is proposed.

The aim of this paper is to identify the effects of the regional and global stock exchange mergers and integrations, and to recommend options that South-East Europe stock exchanges should consider in future. The global financial crisis brought great declines in 2008, and they stayed at their bottom until today, putting their future existence under question. The paper will focus on the impact that these mergers/integrations have on market's liquidity, and the required rate of return.We made comparative analysis among the selected SEE and worldwide-developed stock exchanges in terms of some market indicators. To calculate the Stock Exchanges' required rate of return we develop modified Capital Asset Pricing Model suitable for t market economies. Then, we determined the breadth, depth and liquidity of Macedonian Stock Exchange using a number of different liquidity measures. Based on the results from these analyses, we recommend several options for SEE stock exchanges: developing on their own for which aggressive policy measures for developing internal financial markets must be devised; building links with substantially larger and developed markets to establish virtual trading venues, borrowing advanced platforms and visibility; to start regional integration process (mergers/acquisitions).
