ESMA finds data quality significantly improves under new monitoring approach

Key Points: 
  • ESMA finds data quality significantly improves under new monitoring approach
    The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU’s financial markets regulator and supervisor, today published the third edition of its Data Quality Report under the European Markets Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) and the Securitised Financing Transactions Regulation (SFTR) reporting regimes.
  • The report highlights the increased use of transaction data by EU financial regulatory authorities in their day-to-day supervision and identifies significant quality improvements following a new approach to data monitoring.
  • The new framework, adopted in 2022, takes a more data-driven and outcome-focused approach to data monitoring and to collaborating with the NCAs on data quality issues under EMIR and SFTR.
  • Specifically, it consists of two new elements:
    - a centralised data quality dashboard with EU-wide indicators covering the most fundamental data quality aspects under EMIR;
    - a data sharing framework that enables relevant authorities to follow up with counterparties when potentially significant data quality issues are detected
    New this year is the analysis of MiFiR transaction data from Authorized Reporting Mechanisms (ARMs) and Approved Publication Arrangements (APAs), following on from ESMA’s new supervisory powers over Data Reporting Services Providers (DRSPs).
