The Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) and the European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA) have today published a statement calling for policy makers to focus on scaling up EU equity markets by promoting competition and innovation, rather than seeking to rebalance volumes towards incumbent exchanges at the expense of investors.
The European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA) welcomes the Digital Fitness Check and the European Commission’s initiative to review the EU Digital Rulebook and assess how it can be improved to better support innovation and help position Europe as a global leader in critical technologies.
EFAMA welcomes the Digital Omnibus legislative proposals, and in particular the targeted amendments introduced to the GDPR and the AI Act. The proposed amendments aim to reduce unnecessary administrative burdens and provide legal clarity within the existing regulatory framework while preserving its core objectives.
The European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA) has released today a new issue of its Market Insights series titled “Fund redemptions amid periods of shock: evidence f
EFAMA welcomes the FSB recommendation that jurisdictions develop domestic frameworks to monitor and mitigate the build-up of leverage. These analytical frameworks should take a holistic approach and be empirically driven.

In its response to IOSCO’s consultation on the revised recommendations for liquidity risk management for collective investment schemes, EFAMA welcomes the fact that IOSCO recognises aspects essential for proper risk management (e.g., asset managers’ primary responsibility and the absence of one-size-fits-all approaches).
EFAMA has submitted its response to ESMA’s consultation on the Active Account Requirements (AAR). Our industry stands ready to implement the AAR by June 2025... However, we have strong reservations about the heavy and redundant reporting requirements.
In its response to the Commission’s consultation on assessing the adequacy of macroprudential policies for NBFI, EFAMA stresses that Europe needs more holistic and rigorous analyses to determine where financial stability risks lie. Unfortunately, even though investment funds have proven resilient in recent years despite frequent market disruptions, the consultation focuses on the asset management industry.
