ESMA publishes follow-up report to the peer review on the guidelines on the enforcement of financial information
March 31, 2022--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's securities markets regulator, has today published its follow-up report to the peer review on the guidelines on the enforcement of financial information (GLEFI). The report analysed the progress made by seven National Competent Authorities (NCAs) and found that most of them made improvements, although some are still experiencing staffing difficulties.
The report identifies that the majority of the seven NCAs in scope (Capital Market Commission, Greece, National Bank of Hungary, Financial and Capital Market Commission, Latvia, Malta Financial Services Authority, Securities and Markets Commission, Portugal, Financial Supervisory Authority, Romania, and Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority) made improvements- since the most recent review in 2017 - by allocating more resources to the enforcement of financial information (EFI)-either by recruiting more staff or allocating more time to EFI activities. However, some NCAs still have staffing difficulties, with an obvious impact on the accomplishment of the EFI work plan and, more generally, on the allocation of time and skills to the topic.

ESMA and NCAs find room for improvement in funds' liquidity stress testing
March 30, 2022-The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU's securities markets regulator, has carried out a supervisory engagement with investment funds together with National Competent Authorities (NCAs). The exercise focused on liquidity risk in corporate debt and real estate funds, with the results showing that the funds included in the scope of the analysis do not pose any substantial risk for financial stability.
While the overall degree of compliance is satisfactory, it also highlights some room for improvement and continued monitoring, especially on the liquidity stress testing and valuation of less liquid assets. Many NCAs reported that management companies were able to manage episodes of valuation uncertainty in March 2020 and that they have not identified any strong valuation issue for the funds in the scope of the exercise.
