The AFM Agenda 2026 describes the strategic course and operational priorities of the Dutch financial regulator for the year in question. The focus is on social trends such as digitization, sustainability, and internationalization, which are translated into specific supervision of, among other things, the pension transition and the crypto market. The organization strives for fair financial markets by adopting a risk-driven and data-driven approach to combating fraud and safeguarding the integrity of the sector. In addition, substantial investments are being made in its own digital resilience and the responsible use of artificial intelligence within supervision. The accompanying budget shows an increase in budget and personnel to facilitate these extensive legal tasks and technological innovations. In this way, the AFM aims to contribute to a stable financial system and the sustainable well-being of consumers in the Netherlands.
