The FSA discussion paper proposes a general short-selling disclosure requirement for all UK listed stocks. Although the benefits of short-selling normally outweigh the disadvantages, the FSA argues, there are advantages in having enhanced transparency of short-selling.
The FSA believes that international consensus on the key issues is extremely important, and is therefore not setting out a detailed blueprint for a disclosure regime at present but will use the feedback from this DP to inform the international debate.
Deadline for consultation is 8 May 2009.
