STEP initiative

15th Anniversary

June 2021 marks the 15th anniversary of the STEP initiative. This is the perfect occasion to (re)discover the main assets of the STEP Label.

You will find them in the brochure edited for this jubilee and in the press statement released as part of a broader media campaign.

STEP aims to foster the integration of the European markets for short-term paper through the convergence of market standards and practices.

Integration will enhance market depth and liquidity and increase the diversification opportunities for issuers (both financial and non-financial institutions) and investors. The Financial Markets Association (ACI) and the European Money Markets Institute are the main promoters of the STEP initiative.
