The Bermuda Stock Exchange has announced a streamlined listing process for securities issued under previously approved debt or insurance-linked securities programmes.

“The updates build on the modernisation of Bermuda’s debt listing regime introduced in January 2026,” said law firm Walkers.

“This further eases administrative requirements for listing sponsors and issuers accessing the market under existing programmes.”

Under the revised process, approval-in-principle or final approval for securities issued pursuant to a previously approved programme is now guaranteed on the next business day.

Same-day approval is possible, subject to prior delivery of the relevant supporting documentation. This represents a one-day reduction in the approval timeline for such securities.

The BSX is also introducing abridged application forms and checklists designed to further accelerate the process.

The new documents should be used for all debt or ILS notes issued, or to be issued, where approval-in-principle has already been granted by the BSX for future issuances under a programme.

In addition, the current debt listing application form has been updated to make it specific to a new programme and related notes. All new documents will be available on the BSX website.
