Supporting Capital Market Participants Across Croatia
Croatia’s capital market operates within a regulatory framework governed principally by the Capital Market Act (Zakon o tržištu kapitala), which covers investment services, investment firms, market operators, trading venues, public offerings of securities, issuer disclosures, market abuse, and elements of securities clearing and settlement. Success within Croatia’s capital markets depends on effective governance, proactive compliance, and robust internal controls.
The Croatian Financial Services Supervisory Agency (HANFA) is the competent authority responsible for supervising investment firms providing regulated investment services in Croatia, while credit institutions authorised to provide investment services remain within the relevant Croatian banking supervisory structure. Firms must also comply with directly applicable EU legislation including MiFIR, the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR), EMIR, SFTR.

Your Questions Answered
Who supervises capital markets in Croatia?
HANFA is the national competent authority for investment firms, trading venues, issuers, and market conduct in Croatia, applying the Capital Market Act, MiFID II, MAR, and EMIR.
What rules apply to investment firms?
MiFID II and MiFIR for authorisation, conduct, and reporting, MAR for market abuse, EMIR and SFTR for derivatives, Croatian anti-money laundering law, and applicable prudential requirements.
How long does authorisation take in Croatia?
Most Croatian authorisations run several months to a year from submission, plus preparation. Complete, well-evidenced applications with credible governance move through review meaningfully faster.
Do you support firms after authorisation?
Yes. Most of our work is ongoing: compliance monitoring, regulatory change management, policy updates, reporting support, independent reviews, and training throughout the supervisory relationship.
Are your services advisory only?
Yes, deliberately. ABM Global Compliance never operates regulated businesses or holds client funds. We build, strengthen, and review your compliance arrangements while you remain the regulated operator.
