EU adopts regulation streamlining financial services reporting requirements

The European Parliament and Council have adopted Regulation (EU) 2025/… of 8 October 2025 amending Regulations (EU) No 1092/2010, (EU) No 1093/2010, (EU) No 1094/2010, (EU) No 1095/2010, (EU) No 806/2014, (EU) 2021/523 and (EU) 2024/1620 regarding reporting requirements in financial services and investment support (otherwise known as the Better Data Sharing Regulation). The regulation introduces new information sharing obligations between EU financial authorities including the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs), European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB), Single Resolution Board (SRB), European Central Bank (ECB) and the Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA), implementing a 'report once' principle whereby authorities must request information from other authorities rather than directly from financial institutions where possible. The regulation requires European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) to prepare a feasibility study for a cross-sectoral integrated reporting system within 60 months, establish a permanent single contact point for reporting duplicative requirements, and grants authorities discretionary powers to share anonymised information with researchers for innovation purposes. The regulation also changes InvestEU Programme reporting frequency from biannual to annual and mandates authorities to review and propose removal of redundant reporting requirements within 24 months.
