What it means for you
The circular deals with a regulatory compliance timeline, so the direct effect falls on the organisations that must follow the digital accessibility requirements. Ordinary investors do not need to take any step because of this circular.
Digital accessibility generally refers to making websites and apps usable for people with disabilities. Investors who rely on such features should check the notices their broker or other market intermediary publishes.
Background
