CSA and IIROC analyzing recent market volatility

Posted on May 18, 2010

Last Friday, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) announced that it was conducting, along with the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC), a "comprehensive analysis" of the events of May 6th with respect to market volatility in the U.S. and Canada. Specifically, the CSA and IIROC state that they will engage in "active dialogue" with other regulators, marketplaces and market participants to consider market volatility issues. Further, they intend to examine electronic trading issues and the appropriateness of the existing circuit breaker policies. For more information on the response of regulators to the events of earlier this month, see our post of May 11.
