Amid growing responsibilities, the AMF and AMMC are joining forces to support and anticipate shared challenges, including financing the economy, the dual energy and digital transitions, the emergence of new online financial products and the predominant role of social media, all with the common goal of maintaining financial stability.
Under the terms of this agreement, the AMF and the AMMC have committed to enhancing their mutual knowledge and understanding of one another’s regulatory frameworks, exchanging good practices, and working together to protect investors and ensure market integrity.

The agreement will enable us to gain a better understanding of each other's regulatory frameworks, and thereby contribute to our mutual development and objectives: an innovative, integrated finance system that serves to finance the economy, and that is vigilant in protecting investor. It will also create synergies that will enhance the attractiveness of our respective financial centres.Marie-Anne Barbat-Layani, AMF Chair
