April 30, 2025--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets regulator and supervisor, published today the fifth edition of its Report on the Quality and Use of Data.

The report highlights ESMA's Data Platform and ongoing improvements to data quality frameworks as key advancements in tools and technology for data quality.
