US investment bank fined
Print Edition
BRITAIN’S financial watchdog said yesterday it had fined Merrill Lynch International a little over 34.5 million pounds (US$45.4 million) for failing to report tens of millions of trades.
The Financial Conduct Authority said in a statement that the fine relates to 68.5 million unreported transactions over two years to February 2016 — and follows previous warnings and fines for similar offences.
The FCA added that this time around, it was “the first enforcement action against a firm for failing to report details of trading in exchange traded derivatives, under the European Markets Infrastructure Regulation” that was introduced following the global financial crisis to provide greater transparency on deals.
Merrill Lynch International, part of US giant Bank of America Merrill Lynch, would have been required to pay 49.32 million pounds had it not settled at an early stage of the investigation, the FCA said.
“Reporting exchange traded derivative transactions helps authorities assess and address the risk inherent in financial systems caused by a lack of transparency,” the watchdog said.
