AFM Legislative Brief 2025
The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) submits its 2025 legislative brief to the Ministers of Finance and Social Affairs, requesting specific amendments to the regulatory framework to ensure effective and future-proof supervision. Key proposals include tightening deadlines for pension providers to report accurate data to the Pension Register, introducing a threshold band for shareholding notifications on regulated markets to reduce administrative burdens, and reinstating ministerial approval for the Dutch Institute of Accountants' regulations to prevent conflicts of interest. Additionally, the AFM advocates for abolishing the duplicate national disclosure requirement for directors and supervisors to align with EU standards and reduce sectoral red tape.
