ESMA issues final draft technical standards amending existing regulations to harmonize the review and evaluation process for Central Securities Depositories under the CSDR Refit mandate. The standards specify detailed reporting requirements for CSDs to competent authorities and establish standardized procedures for sharing evaluation results with relevant authorities and colleges of supervisors.
