Geopolitical and macroeconomic developments driving market uncertainty
February 13, 2025--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's financial markets regulator and supervisor, today publishes its first risk monitoring report of 2025, setting out the key risk drivers currently facing EU financial markets. ESMA finds that overall risks in EU securities markets are high, and market participants should be wary of potential market corrections.
Structural developments
Market-based finance: The financing of European corporates lost momentum in 2024. The market environment remains challenging, and equity issuance stayed weak overall. Corporate bond issuance fell slightly in 2H24 but remained close to historically high levels. Given the upcoming corporate bond maturity wall from 2025 to 2028, with 47% of debt maturing in this period, debt sustainability remains a risk.

EU to switch to single-day settlement of stock and bond trades in 2027
February 12, 2025-Move aligns bloc with similar shift in UK and Switzerland as commission seeks to revitalise capital markets
The EU will cut the time it takes to settle stock, bond and fund trades from two days to one from October 2027, the European Commission confirmed on Wednesday, in a move designed to boost liquidity in the bloc's capital markets.
"A shorter settlement cycle would enhance the attractiveness of EU markets," the commission wrote. It comes as the EU is seeking to re-energise its markets by encouraging more domestic and international investment and boosting liquidity.
Single-day securities settlement will begin on October 11 2027-the date that Esma, the EU's financial market regulator, had previously recommended, aligning the switch with those in the UK and Switzerland in order to minimise costs for banks and fund managers.
