Statele membre UE au ajuns la un acord privind înfiinţarea unui așa numit jandarm bursier european, Autoritatea Europeană pentru Valori Mobiliare şi Pieţe

European finance ministers have approved the establishment of a European stock market regulator, enhancing the powers of ESMA. This reform aims to strengthen market oversight and boost investment in Europe. While Germany secured the exclusion of Deutsche Börse from ESMA's scope, the reform has faced criticism from some countries concerned about their financial sectors. The European Commission views this centralization as vital for the Economic and Investment Union, aiming to mobilize inactive savings for businesses. Negotiations with the European Parliament are still ongoing, with a push for approval by year-end.
