Capital Markets

To support growth in the EU and UK and to finance the significant investments required for digital and sustainable transformations, AFME advocates for deep, integrated, and competitive capital markets. AFME works with members to address operational and structural barriers, enhance market practices, and ensure that regulation supports both investor protection and market efficiency.

 

Prudential Regulation & Supervision

AFME’s role is to support member firms and policy makers in the assessment and formulation of prudential policies that are efficient and risk-sensitive while enabling banks to run their business in an internationally-competitive environment. A priority of AFME’s work is to reduce regional prudential fragmentation and to facilitate European and global financial integration.

 

Sustainable Finance

AFME’s focus is on supporting members through the transition to a sustainable economy. We promote the mobilisation of capital in support of sustainable objectives, with an emphasis on the pivotal role of banks and capital markets.

 

Digital Innovation

AFME works to facilitate the adoption of digital innovation in capital markets by: developing regulatory positions that enable members to make appropriate use of emerging technologies; supporting the growth of innovation-based market infrastructures; providing members and policy makers with a platform for discussions on the implementation and management of new technologies.

 

Compliance & Tax

Our European Compliance work focuses on influencing the European regulatory environment to foster a culture of integrity and effective conduct regulation.
