FMSB signs Consultation Agreement with Autorité des Marchés Financiers
Financial Markets Standards Board (FMSB) and Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) are pleased to announce that they have signed a Consultation Agreement with the aim of strengthening the relationship between the two organisations.
Under this agreement, the AMF can share its expertise to support and input into the development of draft FMSB guidance materials and publications for wholesale financial markets.The AMF supports the FMSB’s goal of promoting robust global Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities (FICC) markets and high standards of conduct and welcomes the opportunity to contribute to FMSB’s work.
As an industry-driven organisation FMSB brings together market practitioners from across its Members to identify areas of future vulnerability and develop Standards and Statements of Good Practice to address these and highlight emerging trends that support fair and effective wholesale markets.
The AMF is an independent public authority responsible for regulating the French financial marketplace, its participants, and investment products. The AMF also ensures that investors are properly informed and helps improve and develop financial regulation at both the European and international levels.
We are delighted to announce this Consultation Agreement with the AMF, FMSB’s first with a key European regulator. As Paris continues to grow as a leading trading centre, this collaboration will support engagement with FMSB’s global standards and encourage firms to contribute to the development and adoption of good market practices.
Our partnership with the Financial Markets Standards Board (FMSB) highlights our ongoing commitment to supporting robust, resilient, and efficient markets. This agreement marks the start of closer cooperation and shared goals.
