Abstract

[eng] Stock Market Information as a Public Good. Stakes and Outlooks of the Review of the European Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID).. The organization of securities markets has not benefited from the feigned attempts of reform presented by the governments since the outbreak of the current crisis. However, both speculative opportunities and the resulting risks depend on the markets on which one operates. The Markets in Financial Instruments Directive of the European Union, effective since 2007, reflects an excessive faith in the self-organizing virtues of the market. It unleashed a noxious competition on the market for financial markets that led to liquidity fragmentation and the privatization of market information. Drawing from financial history, we argue that regulated markets should be entrusted, at the European level, with a general interest mission, similar to the one they have long observed on a national level with no harm on economic development : they should centralize, consolidate and publicize post-as well as pre-trade information that are public goods. . Classification JEL : E44, F36, G18, G28, H41, K23, L33, N23, N24, N43, N44. [fre] Depuis le déchaînement de la crise, l’organisation des transactions boursières n’a pas vraiment fait l’objet de velléités réformatrices. Pourtant, les opportunités spéculatives, comme les risques encourus dépendent aussi de l’organisation des marchés sur lesquels on opère. La directive européenne « Marchés d’instruments financiers » , en vigueur depuis 2007, témoigne d’une foi déraisonnable dans les vertus auto-organisatrices du marché. En introduisant la concurrence sur le marché des marchés financiers, elle a ainsi fragmenté la liquidité et accentué la privatisation des dispositifs d’échange et de transaction. Ses conséquences sont en train d’être évaluées par la recherche mais d’ores et déjà, nombre de parties prenantes dénoncent les limites et les dangers de cette nouvelle régulation. Mobilisant l’histoire financière, nous démontrons pourquoi et comment il faudrait, à l’échelle européenne, confier aux marchés réglementés une mission de service d’intérêt général comparable à celle qu’ils ont assumée par le passé sans cela ait nuit au développement économique : centraliser, traiter et diffuser l’information pré et post négociation qui constitue un bien public. . Classification JEL : E44, F36, G18, G28, H41, K23, L33, N23, N24, N43, N44.
