ESMA Publishes First-Ever EU Market Cap Data
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has published market capitalisation data for all EU Member States for the first time. This initiative aims to increase transparency and provide a clearer picture of the size and composition of equity markets across the Union. By making this data publicly available, ESMA is supporting the goals of the Capital Markets Union project. The regular publication of this data is expected to help investors, policymakers, and the public better understand and compare EU financial markets.
The EU is making financial market data more public, a key step toward a unified EU capital market.
