Esma

(European Securities and Markets Authority) Esma (European Securities and Markets Authority) is an independent European Union (EU) authority that was established in 2011. It is responsible for promoting the stability of the financial system, enhancing investor protection, and promoting orderly and efficient financial markets within the EU. The main purpose of Esma is to strengthen the regulation and supervision of financial markets in the EU. It does this by working closely with national competent authorities, such as financial regulators, to ensure consistent and effective regulation across the EU. Esma also collaborates with other EU institutions, such as the European Commission and the European Parliament, to develop and implement financial regulations and standards. The authority is governed by a Board of Supervisors, which is composed of the heads of the national competent authorities of each EU member state. The Board is responsible for setting Esma''s strategic direction and objectives, as well as making decisions on specific supervisory actions.
