Established in 2003, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) is a financial services regulatory authority, overseeing financial products including securities, stocks, forex, etc., and its financial regulation and operations align with the European Union‘s MiFID financial framework. Since Cyprus joined the EU in 2004, CySEC has become an integral part of the EU’s Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) regulations. This means that any company registered in Cyprus can freely bring its business into the entire European market. As a result, Cyprus has invisibly attracted more and more overseas companies to choose to register there.
