| ESMA 2025 Work Programme: Focus on key strategic priorities and implementation of new mandates

| ESMA has contributed to the ongoing discussion of how to make European capital markets more efficient and attractive, and in 2025 will advance on those aspects within its control, while working with the co-legislators and others to support the construction of the European Savings and Investment Union.
A significant portion of ESMA's work in 2025 will comprise policy work to facilitate the implementation of the large number of mandates received in the previous legislative cycle, and the preparation of new mandates, such as the European Green Bonds and the ESG Rating Providers Regulations. Following the adoption of EMIR 3, ESMA will take on new responsibilities and develop a substantial number of technical standards, including for the new Active Account Requirement. |
