Securities issuers
Securities issuers and other participants
in financial markets have to comply with a given set of laws and regulations. The
AFM supervises companies’ compliance with these laws and regulations under the
Financial Supervision Act and the Financial Reporting Supervision Act.
ESAP: No immediate impact on issuers and other participants in financial markets at this time
The decision on determining the date of entry into force of the regulation of the European Single Access Point (ESAP) entered has been published on 9 July 2026. There are currently no changes to the existing obligations for issuers and other participants in financial markets. Further information will be published on a special ESAP-page.
Financial reporting
The financial reporting of listed companies is an important source of information for investors, analysts, suppliers and other stakeholders. Therefore, listed companies must comply with statutory reporting requirements and (international) standards.
Prospectus supervision
When companies want to issue financial securities such as shares or bonds, they are required to publish a prospectus that is approved by the AFM. Companies wishing to list securities on regulated markets such as Euronext Amsterdam also need to publish an AFM approved prospectus.
