Recital 8

Directive (EU) 2024/2811 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2024 amending Directive 2014/65/EU to make public capital markets in the Union more attractive for companies and to facilitate access to capital for small and medium-sized enterprises and repealing Directive 2001/34/EC (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(8) Directive 2014/65/EU introduced the SME growth market category to increase the visibility and profile of markets specialised in the trading of SME securities and to foster the development of common regulatory standards in the Union of markets specialised in SMEs. SME growth markets play a key function in facilitating access to capital for smaller issuers by catering for their needs. To foster the development of such specialised markets and to limit the organisational burden on investment firms or market operators operating multilateral trading facilities (MTFs), it is necessary to allow the segment of an MTF to apply to become an SME growth market provided that such segment is clearly separated from the rest of the MTF.
