| ESMA makes recommendations for more effective and attractive capital markets in the EU
May 22, 2024--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets regulator and supervisor, has today published its Position Paper on "Building more effective and attractive capital markets in the EU". |
| The Paper includes 20 recommendations to strengthen EU capital markets and address the needs of European citizens and businesses.
ESMA's recommendations for a well-functioning capital market focus on three dimensions: citizens, companies and the EU regulatory and supervisory framework. The actions proposed in this paper go beyond changes to financial regulation and are thus directed not only to capital market supervisors but also to EU Member States, the European Commission and EU Co-legislators as well as to the financial industry. |
