La FSA pubblica una guida per la gestione dei rumors

Su Market Watch di novembre la FSA prende posizione sui rumors e formula chiare linee guida in relazione alle politiche di gestione dei rumors stessi, di formazione del personale e di comunicazione interna delle regole fissate dalla società e di monitoraggio delle comunicazioni aziendali.

"Disseminating false or misleading information about companies, particularly in volatile or fragile market conditions, can be a very damaging form of market abuse which affects both the firm concerned as well as general market confidence. This has been the case in recent months, where unfounded rumours contributed to substantial share price movements in a number of financial institutions. While the most publicised cases pertained to falls in share prices resulting from the spread of unsubstantiated stories, all price movements triggered by unfounded rumours have the potential to distort markets and undermine market confidence."
