EU-Wide Supervisory Focus on MiFID II Suitability Compliance

The European Securities and Markets Authority has announced an EU-wide common supervisory action in 2020 on the application of the suitability requirements under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive. National regulators of EU member states will simultaneously assess compliance with the applicable requirements by market participants established in their jurisdictions. The knowledge and experience of the national regulators will be shared through ESMA to enhance the convergence of supervisory practices. ESMA's Suitability Supervisory Briefing and Suitability Guidelines are relevant to this initiative.
