The Joint Committee of the European Supervisory Authorities, comprising the European Banking Authority, the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority and the European Securities and Markets Authority, published its 2026 Work Programme setting out priorities for cross-sector collaboration. The programme centres on strengthening digital operational resilience, maintaining consumer protection, and identifying risks that could undermine financial stability. Planned joint work for 2026 includes supporting the effective operation of the Oversight Framework for critical third-party information and communication technology providers under the Digital Operational Resilience Act, conducting joint risk analyses in the context of geopolitical tensions and heightened uncertainty, and advancing financial education and consumer protection including in the context of the European Commission’s Savings and Investments Union initiative. The ESAs also plan to monitor securitisation market developments, cooperate on cross-sector topics such as financial conglomerates, innovation facilitators and credit assessment institutions, and support the planned review of the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation.
