Market integrity and insider trading

Ana Taleska

Chapter 6 in Comparative Financial Regulation, 2025, pp 89-102 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter reviews recent reform initiatives in the United States (U.S.) aimed at introducing a statutory definition of insider trading by way of amending the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) so as to codify, clarify and eliminate confusion oftentimes associated with the current insider trading regime based on judicial interpretation of the antifraud provisions set out in Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act. Such efforts to codify U.S. insider trading law are further analysed from a comparative perspective with the European Union (EU) where insider trading regulation is a matter of EU law with direct application in the EU Member States. The chapter further assesses the extent to which this trend of convergence of the U.S. and the EU towards a statutory regulation of insider trading will lead to convergence also from a substantive legal, and theoretical standpoint.
