Signal

ESMA updates its Union Strategic Supervisory Priorities. Digital innovation, AI and tokenisation, becomes a priority in 2027. Cyber and operational resilience remains a priority, and ESG disclosures move to ongoing supervision.

Paradox

A priority that ends is not a topic that disappears. ESG leaves the list, not the inspections.

Implication

2027 compliance plans must add AI and tokenisation without dropping ESG. Local supervisory priorities and group priorities do not always match.
