                                                            The Joint Committee of the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs), comprising the European Banking Authority (EBA), the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), has published its 2026 work programme. This programme outlines collaborative initiatives to ensure the effective operation of the oversight framework for critical third-party ICT providers under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). It will also support joint risk analyses in the context of ongoing geopolitical tensions, enhance financial education and consumer protection as part of the European Commission's Savings and Investments Union initiative, and monitor developments in the securitisation market.Additionally, the programme details joint efforts on cross-sectoral matters such as financial conglomerates, innovation facilitators and credit assessment institutions, and support for the forthcoming review of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) (Regulation (EU) 2019/2088).
