ESMA Seeks Feedback on Simplifying Supervisory Reporting

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has launched a call for evidence to identify opportunities to simplify, better integrate, and streamline supervisory reporting. The initiative aims to reduce complexity and costs for market participants while maintaining transparency and oversight.

ESMA is exploring two options: eliminating overlaps within current reporting channels or introducing a unified “report once” template to replace multiple frameworks. These proposals address recurring industry concerns such as overlapping obligations, duplicative reporting channels and frequent regulatory changes.

Stakeholders can submit their feedback by 19 September 2025. A final report, outlining key cost drivers and next steps, will be published in early 2026.
