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 run.

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) on Wednesday 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

These disclosures will cover how the group is structured legally, how it is governed and how its organization is set up. The goal is to make complex financial groups more transparent and easier to analyze, both for supervisors and for the market.

The new duty will apply from 10 January 2030, giving firms several years to prepare their systems and processes. They will need to provide the information in a standardized format and attach basic metadata, such as their legal entity identifier and company size, so ESAP can process and display it consistently.

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.

Expect ongoing updates as this story evolves.
