On August 3, 2026, the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania registered amendments to the Financial Instruments Market Law (Law No. X-1024) for consideration by the government. The amendments modify Articles 15-2, 15-4, 16, and 102 of the law, as well as its annex. The Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania prepared the draft amendments, with Ieva Vaštakaitė serving as the primary contact. The amendments underwent a public consultation and coordination process between April 27 and May 12, 2026, during which multiple stakeholders reviewed and approved the proposals. Coordinating institutions included the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Economy and Innovation, the Bank of Lithuania, the Audit, Accounting, Asset Valuation and Insolvency Management Service, and the State Data Protection Inspectorate. Industry bodies consulted included the Lithuanian Banks Association, the Lithuanian Financial Brokers Association, the Lithuanian Investment and Pension Funds Association, the Lithuanian Venture and Private Capital Association, the Lithuanian Investment Managers Association, and AB NASDAQ OMX Vilnius. The draft amendments have been formally submitted to the Lithuanian Government for further processing. The amendments are currently included in a legislative package alongside related proposals (registration numbers 26-6534(2), 26-6536(2), 26-6537(2), and 26-6538(2)). Market participants and financial services providers should monitor the government's consideration of these amendments, as they may introduce substantive changes to the regulatory framework governing financial instruments markets in Lithuania.
