2024, an active year for French regulators

French regulators have been highly active in 2024, with more investigations, hefty fines, and stronger cooperation both nationally and internationally.

 

While the EU Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism has been recently launched (and we will watch out!), French regulatory authorities have been very active this year again. Looking at the French Financial Market Authority (AMF), the Prudential and Resolution Control Authority (ACPR), the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL, French authority overseeing, among others, data processing issues) activiy shows increasing number of investigations, massive fines and enhanced cooperation among French and international authorities.
