Spain amended securities market laws to allow Spanish-listed companies to register shares simultaneously in Spain and outside the EU, advancing access for international investors. This reform, published in the official state bulletin, emerged three years after Ferrovial moved its headquarters to the Netherlands to accelerate US listing. While the Spanish government initially criticized the move as 'unilateral' and contrary to national interests, the new rules permit partial share deposits in foreign financial entities, with the Spanish central registrar maintaining its role for issuance verification. The reform aims to increase international accessibility while preserving Spain's central role in share registration.

Key points

• Spain amended securities market laws to allow Spanish-listed companies to register shares simultaneously in Spain and outside the EU.
