What changed

The FMSB and AMF signed a bilateral Consultation Agreement on 30 March 2026 establishing a framework for cooperation in wholesale financial markets. The AMF, France's independent financial regulator, will contribute expertise to support FMSB's development of Standards and Statements of Good Practice for FICC markets. FMSB is an industry-driven organisation bringing together market practitioners to identify vulnerabilities and promote high standards of conduct in global wholesale markets.

This agreement represents a non-binding cooperation arrangement rather than a regulatory rulemaking. It does not impose compliance obligations, deadlines, or penalties on regulated entities. Firms active in wholesale financial markets may benefit from increased alignment between French regulatory perspectives and FMSB's global standards. No immediate action is required by market participants.

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.
