ICMA’s AMIC and EFAMA have submitted a joint response to the IOSCO consultation on fund liquidity management by open-ended funds.

The European Commission has published a proposal for a Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), paving the way for much-needed mandatory European sustainability reporting standards (ESS).
