Financial Market Commissioner Maria Luís Albuquerque has proposed an acceleration of the settlement cycle in European securities trading. This was the first legislative proposal presented by Albuquerque in her role as Financial Markets Commissioner on Wednesday. According to the proposal, from Oct. 11, 2027, securities trading within the EU should be settled on the following day (T+1) instead of two days after the trading day (T+2), as is currently the case.
