Our missions

The AMF regulates the French financial market place, its participants and the investment products. It ensures that investors are properly informed and and is a driving force behind regulatory change at European and international levels.

Our strategy

Over the period 2018-2022, the AMF intends to play an active role in the forming of a strong and competitive future EU27, while taking on board the digital revolution and helping to meet the new challenges of the financing of the economy.

Poignée de main
Our CSR

We consider sustainable development to be a major challenge for society, whether it is social, environmental or economic. We are committed to integrating CSR not only in our strategy, but also in our day-to-day actions.

Each year, the AMF publishes its action and supervisory priorities. In 2022, we will be focusing on the following matters:

  • Europe
  • Retail investment
  • Sustainable finance
  • Modernisation of the AMF's action

Our organisation

The AMF has two distinct collegial bodies: the Board and the Enforcement Committee. The AMF relies on consultative commissions and a Scientific Advisory Board.

Governance

The Autorité des Marchés Financiers has two distinct collegial bodies: the Board, chaired by the AMF Chairman, and the Enforcement Committee. The Chairman appoints a Secretary General.  Focus on our governance

Board

The Board is the AMF’s main decision-making and prosecuting authority. It has 16 members drawn from a broad variety of backgrounds. This multidisciplinarity ensures that it has the technical and legal expertise needed to carry out its tasks.

Enforcement Committee

The Enforcement Committee, which is made up of judges and professionals, has total freedom to make decisions.  It can impose sanctions on any person or company whose practices contravene laws and regulations that fall within the jurisdiction of the AMF.

Consultative Commissions

Comprising financial market participants, experts in management or market operation, representatives from professional associations or investor advocacy groups, the five AMF Consultative Commissions help inform the Board’s decisions on changes to regulations or AMF policy.

Climate and Sustainable Finance Commission

The Climate and Sustainable Finance Commission was set up by the AMF on 2 July 2019 and brings stakeholders together on the issue of sustainable finance. The role of this commission is to help the AMF carry out its regulatory and supervisory missions on issues related to sustainable finance.

Scientific Advisory Board

The AMF set up a Scientific Advisory Board composed of prominent figures from the academic and financial worlds to expand its research and strategic intelligence capabilities. The board presents its work at an annual conference attended by members of the academic and market communities.

The AMF plays a key role with French, European and international institutions, and this has become even more important in today’s globalised financial markets that call for the emergence of precise, consistent and harmonised international standards.

Regulation

The AMF enacts the rules that apply to the players and products that fall within its remit: financial markets, listed companies, financial transactions, financial intermediaries, collective investment products, etc.
