The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) published a recap of its participation in the Eurofi Financial Forum in Warsaw, where AFM board member Jos Heuvelman and Policy and Regulatory Affairs manager Barbara Antonides joined panels on increasing retail participation in EU capital markets and on the EU’s planned transition to a T+1 securities settlement cycle. Heuvelman focused on how long-term retail investment products and related policy could help boost retail participation, with an emphasis on keeping products simple and cost-efficient. Antonides discussed the shift to T+1 in the EU from 11 October 2027, which would shorten the settlement period for securities transactions from two to one trading day; the AFM also produced two accompanying magazine articles reflecting these themes.
