Cyprus is tightening how its biggest financial groups share information with Europe, in a move that aims to make it easier for investors and regulators to see how these firms are operated.

The change means large investment firms and asset managers in the region will have to send more of their key disclosures into a central EU database in the coming years.

CySEC amended its Financial Conglomerates Directive (DI87-12) as per Wednesday announcement to plug Cyprus into the European Single Access Point (ESAP), the EU’s new online hub for financial and sustainability information.

Pushing Brokers Toward Greater Transparency

ESAP aims to give anyone, from retail investors to analysts, one place to find comparable data on companies and financial institutions across the bloc.

For Cyprus-based groups, this marks a shift from publishing information mainly on their own channels to contributing to a shared European platform.

Under the policy statement published on 4 February 2026, investment firms, asset management companies and AIFMs that belong to a financial conglomerate will have to submit their annual disclosures through CySEC so they can be uploaded to ESAP.

2030 Deadline for New EU Disclosure Regime

CySEC is enthusiastic about the new regulations shaping the EU. It recently warned that it is entering a stricter supervisory phase, as the new EU Anti‑Money Laundering Authority (AMLA), MiCA, DORA and revisions to MiFID II/MiFIR and AIFMD II pick up. The watchdog sees this as an opportunity to attract only the serious players in the region.

“In general, the combined implementation of the new European rules, the enhancement of transparency and investor protection, in combination with the enhanced supervisory role of the CySEC, create a stable and safe environment. In this context, the Cypriot capital market has every reason to develop further in 2026, strengthening the economy,” Chair Dr. George Theocharides said.

For Cypriot groups that operate across borders, this should mean their disclosures sit alongside those of peers in other EU states, potentially making them more visible to investors who screen the EU market through ESAP.

CySEC notes that the final changes follow an earlier consultation (CP-05-2025) and confirms that the proposals remain as originally consulted. Firms can contact the regulator’s Policy Department for clarification as they prepare for the new regime.
