Frequently Asked Questions on Financial Services & Capital Markets Regulations

Which institutions and agencies regulate financial services in the EU?

The European Commission (DG FISMA) proposes legislation, adopted by the European Parliament and Council. Supervision is coordinated through the European System of Financial Supervision (ESFS), comprising the European Banking Authority (EBA), European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), and the European Central Bank (ECB) under the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM).

What is the EU Single Rulebook in financial regulation?

The Single Rulebook provides a unified set of harmonised prudential and conduct rules that financial institutions across all 27 EU Member States must respect, comprising primary regulations (CRR, MiFIR, Solvency II) and binding Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS).

What is the Capital Markets Union (CMU) and why does it matter for EU businesses?

The Capital Markets Union is a long-term EU initiative to deepen and integrate capital markets across all 27 Member States, making it easier for businesses — especially SMEs — to access diverse funding sources such as equity, venture capital, and public listings, while offering investors wider cross-border opportunities.
