Scope of the analysis
The annual risk and trend mapping report from the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) describes the main trends on markets and in financing (Chapter 1), market structure and intermediation (Chapter 2), household saving (Chapter 3) and asset management (Chapter 4). The report has several goals. It seeks to set France’s situation within a broader context that captures major international trends and to appraise the latest research with a view to better understanding the often complex and fast-moving changes taking place within our environment. It also brings together different perspectives: supply and demand, retail and wholesale, market operation and business strategy, macro and micro. Finally, it is intended to highlight observations and areas of concern flagged by AMF staff when carrying out the regulator’s supervisory and inspection duties and in their dealings with retail investors.
