The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU’s financial markets regulator and supervisor, has today published its latest edition of the Spotlight on Markets Newsletter.
Your one-stop-shop in the world of EU financial markets focuses in July on the latest developments in relation to the Regulation on the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). ESMA published an opinion on global crypto firms using their non-EU execution venues. Under DORA, the European Supervisory Authorities published the second batch of policy products and the Final report on the draft technical standards on subcontracting ICT services and have announced the EU systemic cyber incident coordination framework.
On a different note, ESMA set out its long-term vision on the functioning of the Sustainable Finance Framework and published the results of its fifth stress test exercise for Central Counterparties.
In addition, ESMA, together with the National Competent Authorities, released an analysis of the cross-border provision of investment services in 2023. New consultations on different aspects of the Central Securities Depositories Regulation Refit were launched, as well as a new package of public consultations in the context of the MiFIR review.
Finally, ESMA published an update of its Reporting Manual on the European Single Electronic Format.
