Licensing statistics by regulator

How many firms hold each licence, counted from the regulators' official registers on the dates shown. 159 counts across the Atlas; each links to the register it came from. Counts change as firms are authorised, surrender licences or are struck off. This page covers every licence type by regulator; MiCA CASP authorisations by EU country, from the ESMA register, have a page of their own.
