The Securities Commission becomes a signatory to the international Administrative arrangement on the transfer of personal data

TITLE: Serbia's Securities Commission Becomes Signatory to International Administrative Arrangement on Personal Data Transfer BODY: On 26 February 2026, the Securities Commission of the Republic of Serbia became a signatory to the international Administrative Arrangement for the transfer of personal data between European Economic Area (EEA) Authorities and Non-EEA Authorities. The Administrative Arrangement establishes a cooperation mechanism enabling the lawful and secure transfer of personal data between competent authorities in accordance with data protection standards applied within the European Union. By acceding to this arrangement, the Securities Commission strengthens international regulatory cooperation and reinforces its commitment to applying high standards of data protection within the framework of capital market supervision. The arrangement facilitates cross-border information sharing between securities regulators while maintaining robust data protection safeguards. The Securities Commission joins other signatories to the Administrative Arrangement, with the complete list of participating authorities published on the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) official website. This development reflects Serbia's alignment with international regulatory standards and enhances the Commission's capacity to cooperate with other securities regulators globally on matters requiring the secure exchange of personal data.

TITLE: South Korea's Financial Services Commission Advances Climate Finance Information Infrastructure BODY: On February 25, 2026, South Korea's Financial Services Commission released a comprehensive plan to enhance climate finance information infrastructure through the development of data-driven intelligent financial systems. The initiative addresses key market challenges including unfamiliar classification standards for identifying climate finance-eligible companies, difficulties in assessing alignment with Korea's taxonomy framework, and concerns about greenwashing. The commission is establishing a unified climate finance web portal to support financial institutions in activating climate finance across corporate, financial institution, and policy dimensions. The rollout occurs in phases. In April 2026, the climate finance web portal will launch its first-stage service, enabling data input, alignment assessment logic, and output generation. In August 2026, the second-stage formal service will open, incorporating data collection, analysis, recommendation logic, and alignment determination connectivity. Additionally, the commission is constructing a standardized financial emissions platform aligned with international standards to support financial institutions' environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosures and carbon neutrality commitments. The platform will utilise Korea Credit Information Services' infrastructure and calculate financial emissions across asset ... (2192 chars total)

ESMA50-481369926-30599 TRV article - AI adoption and trends in securities markets: EU evidence

TITLE: European Securities and Markets Authority Publishes Report on Artificial Intelligence Adoption and Trends in EU Securities Markets BODY: On 20 February 2026, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published a comprehensive risk analysis examining artificial intelligence (AI) adoption trends across EU securities markets. The report, based on a voluntary survey of 728 entities conducted between June and September 2025, provides evidence on financial market participants' AI investment strategies, use cases, benefits, risks, and infrastructure arrangements across 19 EU countries. The survey reveals uneven AI adoption, with significant disparities between firm sizes. Large firms lead deployment, with 96% either using AI or planning to do so, compared to only 35% of micro firms. Just 44% of all surveyed firms reported AI investments in 2024, concentrated predominantly among larger entities. However, sentiment remains optimistic, with 70% of firms anticipating increased AI investment between 2025 and 2027. Current use cases focus primarily on back-office support functions with low autonomy, including document summarisation, code generation, and data processing. Client-facing applications remain limited. Firms identify operational efficiency and cost reduction as primary benefits, with 75% citing enhanced data analysis capabilities and 67% reporting improved internal processes. Expected cost savings average 2.1 out of 5, with larger firms anticipating greater ... (2139 chars total)

TITLE: South Korea's Financial Services Commission Advances Green Transformation Framework for Corporate Sustainability BODY: On February 25, 2026, South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) held the fourth Productive Finance Transformation Conference at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry to advance the country's green transformation (GX) agenda. The FSC, in collaboration with relevant government agencies, industry associations, and stakeholders, unveiled a comprehensive framework to support corporate sustainability and environmental transition. The FSC confirmed final environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure standards and presented an initial ESG disclosure system roadmap. Following additional public consultation through March 2026, the FSC will finalise the roadmap in April 2026. The framework establishes three key pillars: a climate finance supply plan of 790 trillion Korean won (KRW) allocated over the 2026 to 2035 period to achieve South Korea's 2035 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets; introduction of Korean-style transition finance to support high-carbon enterprises in reducing emissions; and enhancement of financial sector information infrastructure to facilitate voluntary climate response efforts by financial institutions. The ESG disclosure standards represent a significant step toward institutionalising sustainability reporting requirements across South Korean markets. The transition finance initiative addresses the spe ... (2099 chars total)

Se eliminan a las Entidades Representativas Regionales (ERR) como sujetos regulados por la CNV | Argentina.gob.ar

TITLE: Argentina's National Securities Commission Deregulates Regional Representative Entities BODY: On February 19, 2026, Argentina's National Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional de Valores, CNV) issued General Resolution No. 1109, deregulating Regional Representative Entities (Entidades Representativas Regionales, ERR) and removing them from the CNV's regulatory scope. The resolution aligns with the Argentine government's broader deregulatory agenda. CNV President Roberto E. Silva stated the commission is "deregulating Argentina's capital markets in line with the National Government's policy" and operating under the principle of "regulating everything that is necessary, but as little as possible." The CNV will no longer regulate ERR entities as subjects under its jurisdiction. General Resolution No. 1109 simultaneously authorizes stock exchanges previously registered as ERR to conduct annotation activities for purchase and sale tickets and contracts related to constructed or projected units under horizontal property ownership or other land subdivision regimes, specifically for future real estate where possession cannot be exercised due to insufficient construction status. While ERR entities are no longer CNV-regulated subjects, the commission retains authority to authorize them to perform this activity. The resolution expands the universe of entities authorized to conduct these activities, including Custody, Registration and Payment Agents (Agentes de Custodia, Re ... (2114 chars total)

AI adoption and trends in securities markets: EU evidence - TRV article

TITLE: European Securities and Markets Authority Publishes Report on Artificial Intelligence Adoption in European Securities Markets BODY: The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) published a report examining artificial intelligence (AI) adoption and trends across European securities markets. The report, referenced as ESMA50-481369926-30599, forms part of ESMA's digital finance and innovation risk monitoring activities. The report provides evidence-based analysis of how AI technologies are being adopted and utilised by market participants across the European Union's securities sector. By documenting current AI adoption patterns and emerging trends, the report contributes to ESMA's broader mandate to monitor risks and developments in digital finance innovation. The analysis covers the extent to which market participants are implementing AI systems, the types of applications being deployed, and the associated market implications. This report is significant for market participants, including investment firms, asset managers, and trading venues, as it establishes a baseline understanding of AI integration within European securities markets. It also informs ESMA's regulatory approach to AI governance and supervision, supporting the development of proportionate and evidence-based regulatory frameworks.

National Bank Chartering: Final Rule | OCC

TITLE: United States Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Issues Final Rule on National Bank Chartering BODY: On February 27, 2026, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) issued a final rule clarifying the longstanding authority of national banks limited to trust company operations to engage in non-fiduciary activities alongside their fiduciary activities. The final rule amends the OCC's chartering regulation at 12 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 5.20 to align with the OCC's statutory authorization to charter national banks limited to trust company operations and related activities. The rule updates terminology, changing references from "fiduciary activities" to "operations of a trust company and activities related thereto." The OCC emphasises that the final rule neither expands nor contracts its existing authority to charter national banks. The rule applies to all applicants for a national bank charter limited to trust company operations and related activities, including community banks seeking such charters. The final rule becomes effective on April 1, 2026. For further information, interested parties may contact Christopher Crawford, Acting Assistant Director, or Marjorie Dieter, Counsel, at the OCC's Chief Counsel's Office on (202) 649-5490. **Reference:** Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, OCC Bulletin 2026-4, National Bank Chartering: Final Rule (February 27, 2026)

TITLE: Argentina's Securities Commission Establishes New Reporting Requirements for Futures and Options Positions BODY: On February 25, 2026, Argentina's Comisión Nacional de Valores (CNV) established a new reporting regime for positions in futures and options markets through General Resolution No. 1113. Under the new requirements, markets must submit weekly reports to the CNV within two days of the end of each week containing detailed information on open positions in futures and options held by Agentes de Liquidación y Compensación (ALyC). The reporting obligation excludes direct participants, authorised financial entities under Argentina's Financial Entities Law, and persons classified under the expanded proprietary portfolio concept. The regime implements a phased approach to compliance. Markets must submit historical information covering the period August 2025 to January 2026 with weekly detail. From February 1, 2026 onwards, markets must report with daily detail but on a weekly reporting schedule. The CNV states the measure aligns with international best practices in derivatives market supervision and aims to strengthen transparency, integrity, and stability within Argentina's capital markets. The reporting framework applies to Settlement and Clearing Agents, with specified exemptions for certain market participants and financial institutions. Markets must begin implementing the new reporting requirements according to the phased timeline, with the first submission ... (1718 chars total)

SEC.gov | SEC Proposes Amendments to Reduce Burdens in Reporting of Fund Portfolio Holdings

TITLE: United States Securities and Exchange Commission Proposes Amendments to Reduce Fund Portfolio Reporting Burdens BODY: On February 18, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed amendments to Form N-PORT, the form used by most registered investment companies to report portfolio-related information. The amendments are designed to reduce reporting burdens while maintaining the SEC's ability to use the data and the public's capacity to assess fund information. The proposed amendments include three key changes. First, reporting funds would receive an additional 15 days to file monthly reports, reducing potential errors and resubmissions. Second, the publication frequency of reports would reduce from monthly to quarterly, protecting shareholders by limiting risks associated with more frequent public disclosure of portfolio holdings. Third, Form N-PORT reports would be streamlined by removing certain reported information, including "Names Rule" reporting under the Investment Company Act of 1940, while adding information about funds with share classes operating as exchange-traded funds. The SEC is also extending compliance dates for Form N-PORT reporting requirements related to the Names Rule. Fund groups with net assets of £10 billion or more must comply by November 17, 2027, while fund groups with less than £10 billion in net assets must comply by May 18, 2028. These extensions provide additional time for funds and the SEC to consider the proposed amendm ... (1867 chars total)

ESMA reminds firms of their obligations under CFD product intervention measures amid rising offerings of perpetual futures

TITLE: European Securities and Markets Authority Reminds Firms of Obligations Under Contracts for Differences Product Intervention Measures BODY: On 24 February 2026, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) issued a statement reminding financial firms of their obligations to assess whether newly offered products fall within the scope of existing product intervention measures on contracts for differences (CFDs). The statement addresses the increased offering of derivatives marketed as perpetual futures or perpetual contracts, which provide leveraged exposure to underlying values, including crypto-assets such as Bitcoin. ESMA clarified that where these derivatives meet the definition of a CFD, they are subject to applicable product intervention requirements adopted by national competent authorities. These requirements include leverage limits, mandatory risk warnings, margin close-out and negative balance protection, and the prohibition of monetary and non-monetary benefits. Given the complexity of these instruments, ESMA emphasised that firms must establish a narrow target market supported by an aligned distribution strategy when providing non-advised services. Firms are also required to conduct appropriateness assessments in accordance with requirements for complex financial instruments and take appropriate steps to identify, prevent, or manage conflicts of interest arising from the offering of these products. The statement serves as a reminder to financial fi ... (2124 chars total)

SEBI | Ease of Doing Investment (EoDI)- Disclosure of registered name and registration number by SEBI regulated entities and their agents on Social Media Platforms (SMPs)

TITLE: India's Securities and Exchange Board Issues Guidance on Social Media Disclosure Requirements for Regulated Entities BODY: On February 26, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) issued Circular No. HO/(79)2026-MIRSD-PODMMC under its Ease of Doing Investment (EoDI) initiative, establishing disclosure requirements for SEBI-regulated entities and their agents operating on social media platforms (SMPs). The circular mandates that SEBI-regulated entities and their agents must disclose their registered name and registration number when using social media platforms for investment-related communications or activities. This requirement aims to enhance transparency and protect investors by enabling them to verify the legitimacy of entities and agents engaging with them on social media. The measure addresses the growing use of social media as a channel for investment promotion and advisory services, ensuring that investors can readily identify and authenticate regulated market participants. The disclosure requirement applies to all categories of SEBI-regulated entities, including investment advisors, research analysts, stock brokers, and other market participants, as well as their appointed agents or representatives. By mandating clear identification on social media platforms, SEBI seeks to reduce the risk of fraudulent impersonation and unauthorised investment solicitation.

TITLE: India's Securities and Exchange Board Publishes Guidance on Valuation of Physical Gold and Silver Held by Mutual Fund Schemes BODY: On February 26, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) published guidance on the valuation of physical gold and silver held by mutual fund schemes. The circular, issued under reference HO/(68)2026-IMD-POD-2/I/5780/2026, addresses the valuation methodology for precious metals held as assets within mutual fund portfolios.

This development is particularly relevant given the growing popularity of gold and silver-focused mutual fund products in India.

The AMF publishes the findings of its inspections on the consideration of client sustainability preferences | AMF

TITLE: France's Financial Markets Authority Publishes Findings on Investment Advisors' Consideration of Client Sustainability Preferences BODY: On 26 February 2026, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF), France's independent financial regulator, published the findings of its "SPOT" (Operational and Thematic Supervision of Practices) inspections examining how investment services providers consider clients' sustainability preferences in their advisory processes. Between April and July 2024, the AMF conducted inspections at five investment services providers covering all stages of investment advice delivery, from Know Your Customer questionnaires to suitability statements. The inspections assessed compliance with the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) framework, which has required investment advisors since August 2022 to consider clients' sustainability preferences—non-financial criteria relating to environmental, social and governance considerations—throughout the advisory process. The AMF identified significant compliance shortcomings, revealing discrepancies in operational implementation of regulatory obligations. While some institutions demonstrated willingness to expand their financial instrument offerings to include sustainable products, the inspections highlighted the complexity of regulatory requirements and technical difficulties in implementation, particularly regarding sustainability preference definitions, non-financial data availability, a ...

Summary of SPOT inspections on the consideration of sustainability preferences in the client journey | AMF

TITLE: France's Financial Markets Authority Publishes Findings on Sustainability Preferences in Client Journey BODY: On February 26, 2026, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) published a summary of its SPOT inspection campaign examining how investment services providers consider sustainability preferences in their client journey. The inspection findings align with the AMF's "Impact 2027" strategic orientations, which prioritise sustainable finance promotion and investor protection. The SPOT inspection campaign analysed the extent to which investment services providers integrate client sustainability preferences into their advisory and portfolio management services. This includes assessing whether firms adequately gather information about clients' environmental, social, and governance (ESG) preferences and incorporate such preferences into investment recommendations and product selection. The inspection campaign also examines whether firms provide appropriate disclosures regarding sustainable investment options and the alignment of their services with client sustainability objectives. The findings are consistent with supervisory measures defined at European level by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), ensuring harmonisation across EU member states regarding the treatment of sustainability preferences in the investment services sector. The AMF's inspection findings provide investment services providers with insights into compliance expectations and b ... (2123 chars total)

Autorización automática para financiamiento colectivo (crowdfunding) y para inversores súper calificados | Argentina.gob.ar

TITLE: Argentina's National Securities Commission Opens Consultation on Automatic Authorisation for Crowdfunding and Super-Qualified Investors BODY: On February 20, 2026, Argentina's National Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional de Valores – CNV) launched a public consultation on two new regulatory regimes designed to expand capital market access and financing sources. The first regime introduces crowdfunding as an automatic authorisation mechanism, enabling non-qualified investors to participate in productive projects through small investment amounts. Individual investors are capped at 3,000 UVAS (Unidad de Valor Adquisitivo) per emission and 10,000 UVAS across all emissions under this regime. The crowdfunding framework will operate within the existing low and medium-impact automatic public offering structure, maintaining technical and prudential parameters while enabling faster, more agile issuance mechanisms without prior CNV intervention. The second regime establishes a specific framework for super-qualified investors—defined as those with portfolio investments, virtual assets, and/or financial deposits exceeding 10,000,000 UVAS. This regime eliminates certain quantitative restrictions applicable to other investor segments while maintaining CNV transparency and disclosure standards, recognising the economic and technical capacity of high-net-worth investors. CNV President Roberto E. Silva emphasised that both initiatives advance the Commission's objective of facil ... (2088 chars total)
