In this podcast episode, we discuss CySEC Circular C754, which introduced a new ESMA reporting requirement for certain Cyprus Investment Firms (CIFs) providing cross-border investment services across the EEA under the passporting regime. We explain who is affected, what information firms must report through the ESMA Cross-Border Online Questionnaire, and why this initiative reflects the EU's increasing focus on strengthening oversight, transparency, and investor protection in cross-border financial services.
