French Financial and Insurance Markets Regulation 

French financial and insurance markets are supervised by three national competent authorities. 

Autorité Des Marchés Financiers

The AMF is an independent public authority responsible for ensuring that savings invested in financial products are protected, providing investors with adequate information and supervising the orderly operation of markets.

Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de resolution

The Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution is charged with preserving the stability of the financial system and protecting the customers, insurance policyholders, members and beneficiaries of the persons that it supervises.

Banque de France 

The Banque de France plays a dual role of protection and supervision: it is responsible for strengthening regulations and monitoring risks, and for ensuring the safety of savers’ deposits and, in conjunction with the ACPR, it oversees the financial sector, ensures the smooth operation of payment systems and market infrastructures and regularly assesses the risks and weaknesses in the financial system.
