The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and France’s Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) signed a new agreement to continue collaboration regarding the supervision and oversight of firms that operate on a cross-border basis in the United States and France.
The memo of understanding between the two sides, announced Friday, “establishes a framework for cooperation, contemplates the sharing of information, and provides procedures for examinations of French swap dealers currently registered with the CFTC,” the U.S. agency said in a press release.
The CFTC and AMF have long cooperated regarding their respective regulatory mandates. The new memo is the 10th extant agreement between the two sides since 1990, noted CFTC Commissioner Kristin Johnson in a statement.
