The document details the AFM's risk-based, data-driven, and results-oriented approach to overseeing financial services, capital markets, asset management, and accounting, with specific emphasis on implementing EU regulations like MiCAR, DORA, and the AI Act while strengthening consumer protection against over-indebtedness and greenwashing. It further highlights the authority's focus on cross-border supervisory cooperation, the integration of sustainability reporting standards, and the preparation for new oversight frameworks targeting crypto assets and digital operational resilience.
