European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA)

  • European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) is an independent EU Authority that was established on 1 January 2011 and works closely with the other two European Supervisory Authorities, one responsible for banking (EBA), and the other for insurance and occupational pensions (EIOPA).
 
  • ESMA’s mission is to enhance the protection of investors and promote stable and well-functioning financial markets in the European Union (EU). As an independent institution, ESMA achieves this aim by building a single rule book for EU financial markets and promoting its consistent application across the EU. ESMA contributes to the regulation of financial services firms with a pan-European reach, either through direct supervision or through the active co-ordination of national supervisory activity.
