The Ukraine National Commission on Securities and Stock Market said a series of meetings in Madrid delivered steps aimed at deeper integration of Ukraine's capital market with Europe. The main outcome was Ukraine's formal accession to the International Organization of Securities Commissions Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding, which gives the regulator direct information-sharing rights with counterparts in more than 100 jurisdictions and is intended to strengthen cross-border enforcement, investor protection and confidence in the Ukrainian regulator. The visit also produced an agreement with Spain's National Securities Market Commission to move to more systematic practical cooperation. That work will cover expert support for implementing European Union legislation, development of a regulatory sandbox, cooperation on digital assets and distributed ledger technology, implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets framework, and preparation of a joint work plan for 2026-2027. Separately, the Ukrainian commission held talks with the operator of the Spanish stock market on exchange infrastructure, modern financial instruments and possible future cooperation linked to Ukraine's integration into the European financial space and mobilizing private capital for reconstruction.
