Money Market Funds
Commission adopts report on the functioning of the Money Market Funds Regulation
The Commission has today adopted a report on the functioning of the Money Market Funds (MMF) Regulation. Money market funds are investment funds that invest in short-term debt instruments such as securities issued by banks, businesses or governments. Consequently, they play a key role in the short-term financing of the economy. For their investors, they present an alternative to bank deposits. The report draws on a number of studies carried out by European and international bodies including the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) and the Financial Stability Board (FSB), as well as the results of a targeted consultation in 2022.
