Trading in Italy
Italy is one of Europe's major financial markets, anchored by the Milan Stock Exchange (Borsa Italiana). Forex and CFD trading is regulated by CONSOB (Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa), Italy's securities regulator, which enforces strict standards on broker conduct, fund segregation, and transparency.
As an EU member under MiFID II, Italian retail traders benefit from leverage capped at 1:30 on major forex pairs, mandatory negative balance protection, and best execution requirements. Brokers licensed anywhere in the EU — including CySEC (Cyprus) and BaFin (Germany) — can passport their licence to serve Italian clients, giving traders a wide choice of regulated options.
