The Directorate-General for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union (DG FISMA) is a Directorate-General of the European Commission. It is one of the thirty three DG's that are created and named to reflect their functions.

The main role of the Directorate-General FISMA is initiating and implementing EU policy in the area of Banking and Finance.

After the financial crisis that began in 2008, the EU responded with a series of reforms to ensure financial market stability and to enhance the supervision of financial markets.

The DG is arranged into five sections:

Dir A - Resources and Communications

Dir B - Investment and Company reporting

Dir C - Financial Markets

Dir D - Regulation and Prudential Supervision of Financial Markets

Dir E - Financial System Surveillance and Crisis Management

Valdis Dombrovskis is the current EU Commissioner for this area, Oliver Guersent is the Director-General and he manages DG FISMA.
