Launched in 2022, FastLane is a streamlined admission process on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (LuxSE)’s Euro MTF market. Catering to corporate as well as global sovereign, sub-sovereign and agency (SSA) issuers, FastLane offers simplified and quick access to European investors.

Exemption from formal prospectus approval

FastLane accelerates the admission process for listings on Euro MTF by introducing an exemption from the formal prospectus approval by LuxSE, which is applicable to eligible issuers and securities.

As part of the FastLane listing process, LuxSE conducts a limited review of information, such as the notes’ terms and conditions and other publicly available information about the issuer.

Aimed at standalone bonds and bonds issued under programmes  by SSA entities, as well as at standalone bonds issued by companies already listed on an EU-regulated (or equivalent) market, Fastlane offers significant advantages including a fast go-to-market and reduced costs, making it an attractive option for international issuers aiming for efficiency and impact.

Access to Europe’s first MTF

Accounting for 40% of all the securities listed at LuxSE, Euro MTF was the first Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) of its kind in Europe and currently boasts over 16,000 active listings.

As a wholly recognised market, Euro MTF appeals to a broad spectrum of international issuers – from sovereign and sub-sovereign entities to leading financial institutions. Entirely regulated by LuxSE, Euro MTF provides issuers with a flexible, cost-effective full-listing solution that caters to diverse needs.

It provides favourable withholding tax rates in select jurisdictions, ECB eligibility, and proportional admission and reporting requirements, making it an attractive option for issuers.

Growing popularity among international issuers

Since its introduction, a growing number of non-EU issuers have benefited from the FastLane listing process, enjoying a quicker time to market.

To benefit from the FastLane listing process, issuers must submit an application form providing details about the issuer and relevant securities. The application form does not require formal approval by LuxSE, setting a straightforward path to listing.
