On 3 January 2018, Europe saw the update to the Markets in Financial Instrument Directive (MiFID II) and the accompanying Regulation (MiFIR) come into force. Focusing on the creation of fairer, safer and more efficient markets, this broad piece of financial industry legislation has and will continue to significantly change market structures.

Bloomberg has developed a suite of data solutions to help your firm meet MiFID-related requirements as well as provide integration of the latest reference and market data.

Transparency Data

To help firms comply with new transparency requirements, Bloomberg’s MiFIR Transparency Solution provides data for firms to determine and complete their pre- and post-transparency, transaction and reference data reporting obligations under MiFIR.

The solution covers multiple asset classes and provides key data points such as:

• Instrument identifiers including LEIs, CFI codes and Financial Instrument Short Name

• MiFIR product classifications

• Liquidity status and LIS and SSTI thresholds

• ToTV and uToTV indicators

• Transparency Waiver Data

The Bloomberg MiFIR Transparency data is available via real time, scheduled, and bulk file enterprise data feeds.

APA/MTF Market Data

As a result of MiFID II, a large stream of real-time market data has been made available in historically non-transparent asset classes such as Credit, Rates and FX. Bloomberg is on-boarding, aggregating and normalizing pre- and post-trade transparency data from global Approved Publication Arrangements (APAs), Multi-Lateral Trading Facilities (MTFs) and other trading venues to provide in-depth market transparency.
