ESMA Capital Markets Conference on May 21st in Paris
On May 21st, 2026, Karsten Wenzlaff will attend the ESMA Capital Markets Conference 2026 in Paris, following a personal invitation. The conference, organised by the European Securities and Markets Authority, brings together policymakers, supervisors, and industry representatives to discuss key developments in European capital markets.
The agenda will focus on deepening market integration through coordinated public and private sector efforts, addressing fragmentation in trading and post-trading infrastructures, and exploring the role of innovation and new technologies. Further discussions will examine ongoing reforms aimed at strengthening supervisory convergence across the EU, particularly in the context of the Savings and Investment Union and evolving ESMA mandates.
Another key theme of the conference will be the investor journey, including how to improve accessibility, transparency, and trust in capital markets. The discussions will explore how digitalisation, simplified investment products, and enhanced regulatory frameworks can contribute to more inclusive and efficient markets for European investors.
