This also includes a focus on high-risk products, i.e. foreign Exchange , contracts-for-difference (CFDs), and binary options. The regulator’s two pillars of focus will emphasize supervision and promotion of market transparency as well as bolstering the attractiveness and competitiveness of Spanish securities markets.
One way to accomplish this is to help strengthen financial education and support to investors, two areas that are grounds for improvement. More specifically, the CMNV will help support the publication of technical guides and criteria for market participants.
