After a 30-day review of its policy, the FSA will continue to ban short-selling while relaxing rules for the daily disclosure of short positions.

Regulators introduced these measures in response to claims that short-selling was exacerbating the credit crunch by pushing down stock prices of financial firms.

The FSA’s release does not indicate when the policy will be up for review again.
