unstar this property answer text <p>The Government is committed to taking action to ensure that the criminal regime for financial market abuse is strong and robust. In September 2014 the Government consulted on whether the regulatory regime put in place for LIBOR should be extended to seven other major benchmarks, based on recommendations from the Fair and Effective Markets Review. This regime includes the criminal offence of manipulating a ‘relevant benchmark’ either by making misleading statements or by creating a false or misleading impression of the value of investments that could affect such a benchmark. The list of benchmarks included the dominant benchmark for the foreign exchange market, WM/Reuters 4pm London Closing Spot Rate. The Government will announce its response to this consultation shortly.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

This research helped to inform the Government’s response to the consultation on the implementation of the second Payment Services Directive (PSDII), which was published on 19 July 2017.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s response to the consultation explains that, as the second Payment Services Directive is a maximum harmonising Directive, the Government has limited flexibility as to how far we can go beyond its explicit requirements. Although the Government could see some benefit in requiring firms to display the difference between the exchange rate they offer and the interbank exchange rate, it is clear that including such a requirement in PSDII would be gold-plating, and the Government has therefore decided not to do so.</p><p>The Government does not intend to publish the research at this point in time as it relates to the formulation and development of ongoing Government policy.</p>
