AMF: Risk and trend mapping for financial markets and retail savings 2011


The AMF stressed that the work being done on shadow banking is a key component of risk prevention. A broad, open-ended definition is needed to keep pace with constant innovation in the financial sphere.

• High frequency trading
• Supervision and oversight of commodity derivatives markets
• Initiatives to support small and midsized firms
• Risks on exchange-traded index products
• Supervision and regulation of shadow banking.
