AMF Prolongs Exceptional Measures On Short Selling Of Financial Stocks Pending A Permanent Europe-Wide Regime

Meeting on 26 January 2010 the AMF Board decided to extend until further notice the exceptional measures introduced on 19 September 2008 to prohibit short selling of a selected group of financial stocks.

The AMF continues to contribute actively to the work being done by the Committee of European Securities Regulators to establish a permanent, harmonised short selling regime in Europe.
