EFAMA warns that now is not the time to introduce additional obstacles to the sale of investment funds, both domestically and internationally.
EFAMA warns against the negative impact of large-scale changes to the Shareholder Rights Directive
Following yesterday’s vote by the European Parliament’s ECON Committee on the EU Securitisation Regulation (SECR) review, EFAMA expresses concern that aspects of the current text lack sufficient ambition to truly prioritise European investors and support Savings and Investment Union (SIU) objectives.
Today, EFAMA has published its latest Monthly Statistical Release for February 2026.
EFAMA supports the European Commission’s Omnibus Simplification Package as a crucial step towards reducing bureaucracy and enhancing EU competitiveness. While simplification is necessary, given the current geopolitical developments, it must not compromise the availability and quality of essential sustainable information for investors and asset managers. We, therefore, consider legal clarity and alignment across EU regulations essential to support the transition to a sustainable economy.
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. The main systemic risk stemming from leverage is the imbalance between liquidity demand and supply during periods of stress, not the (collective) default of non-bank financial intermediaries.
