On April 22, 2026, Slovenia's Ministry of Finance published a proposed regulation amending the Regulation on the Implementation of Regulation (EU) on Improving Securities Settlement Arrangements in the European Union and on Central Securities Depositories. The proposed regulation is currently in preparation within the ministry. The amendment aims to update Slovenia's implementation framework for European Union securities settlement rules, which establish requirements for central securities depositories and settlement systems across the EU. The regulation governs the operational and prudential standards for entities involved in securities settlement, including central counterparties and depositories. This update reflects ongoing harmonisation efforts to ensure Slovenian legislation remains aligned with EU regulatory standards in capital markets infrastructure. The public comment period closes on May 22, 2026. Stakeholders, including financial institutions, market participants, and other interested parties, can submit comments during this period. The proposed regulation is referenced under government act number 2026-1611-0032. The timeline indicates the regulation is scheduled to progress through government committee review and cabinet approval during the fourth quarter of 2026, with an anticipated effective date in the fourth quarter of 2026. The full text of the proposed regulation is available on the eUprava portal (Slovenia's e-government platform) for public consultation. **References:** eUprava - Predlogi predpisov (Proposed Legislation Portal)
