| French 'Super Authority' Launches |
by Ulrika Lomas, for LawAndTax-News.com, Brussels
Friday, March 12, 2010
French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde has announced that the new supervisory
authority, ACP (Autorité de contrôle prudentiel), has now been set
up, and will act as a “super authority” to strengthen regulation of
the country's banks and insurance companies.
The new ACP will be responsible for regulating the solidity of banks and insurance
companies in France, thus benefiting consumers (depositors, investors, and policy
holders). The authority also has the role of regulating financial and economic
stability.
Lagarde has also charged the new authority with the task of protecting
clients by regulating – or policing – marketing practices used for
financial products (notably credit and insurance).
According to the French Finance Minister, all major countries have initiated
discussions designed to draw lessons from the economic crisis and to strengthen
regulation of the financial sector. France is the first country to implement
such an ambitious reform, she added.
