In this list of financial supervisory authorities, central banks are only listed where they act as direct supervisors of individual financial firms, and competition authorities and takeover panels are not listed unless they are set up exclusively for financial services. Financial intelligence units and policy banks are not listed, unless they also have a financial supervisory mandate.
Financial supervisory authorities by country
In the European Union, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) holds significant direct supervisory mandates that support its inclusion in the list; by contrast, the direct supervisory roles European Banking Authority (EBA) and European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) are not significant enough to justify mention.
