The year 2025 was marked by an overall intensification of regulatory activity in France, both from an enforcement and a preventive perspective. The French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) confirmed the strong momentum of its supervisory and enforcement efforts, with increased detection of professional misconduct and market abuse, accompanied by a significant rise in investigations and statements of objections. The French Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (ACPR) also maintained a high level of activity, notably imposing a record €20 million fine on Société Générale.
In the field of data protection, the French Data Protection Authority (CNIL) reported a substantial increase in activity, reflected in a sharp rise in complaints, personal data breach notifications, and a record level of administrative fines. Finally, the French Competition Authority continued its robust enforcement efforts, issuing nine infringement decisions and imposing total fines amounting to €379 million.
