The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU’s financial markets regulator and supervisor, is looking for candidates representing the interests of all types of financial markets stakeholders.

The Securities and Markets Stakeholder Group (SMSG) is an important body for ESMA. It facilitates our consultation with stakeholders by providing technical advice on ESMA’s policies and activities and brings information on recent market developments to our attention.

Verena Ross, ESMA’s Chair, said:

“The outgoing SMSG has provided invaluable support to ESMA through high-quality advice, and I would like to thank all the members for their work.
It is important that the stakeholder views in the SMSG are well balanced. As we prepare to renew the group I am therefore particularly inviting stakeholders who can give a strong voice to consumers, users of financial services, employees in the financial sector and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to put yourselves forward. Through your participation and advice you can contribute to shaping the future of the European capital markets.”
