The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets has asked market participants to complete two surveys on readiness for the move from T+2 to T+1 securities settlement on 11 October 2027. The surveys are intended to monitor preparation across the capital market chain and identify where additional attention is still needed. Both surveys are open until 9 June 2026. The request covers market participants including investment firms, investment institutions, insurers and pension funds. The national survey run by the AFM is designed to map T+1 readiness in the Netherlands, with results accessible only to the AFM and the European Securities and Markets Authority. The parallel European survey, run by the EU T+1 Industry Committee, is intended to show progress across the European Union and will publish results anonymously and on an aggregated basis. The AFM also pointed firms to ESMA and EUIC information pages and to the EU T+1 Roadshow in Prague on 26 May 2026, which will be held in hybrid format.
