Lithuania's Ministry of Finance has secured government approval for legislative proposals intended to help companies, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, attract funding and investors by improving access to their financial and sustainability information and easing certain capital markets requirements. The package would embed the European Single Access Point (ESAP) in national law through amendments to the Law on Markets in Financial Instruments and related legislation, enabling company financial data, reports and other documents to be made available on a single EU information platform. It also raises the threshold for securities issuers to prepare a prospectus to EUR 12 million from EUR 8 million, and includes measures aimed at simplifying listing rules, increasing transparency and data availability in the financial instruments market, and reducing administrative burdens for smaller businesses while improving information access for investors.
