L’AMF mise sur l’Open Data pour renforcer la visibilité de ses listes noires

The AMF enhances the visibility of its blacklists through Open Data, as part of the ICData program aimed at data governance and enhanced data usage for supervision. The AMF shares its data assets with various entities, including banks, asset management companies, online brokers, social networking platforms, consumer associations, public authorities, other regulators, and financial researchers. To achieve this, the AMF makes its blacklists accessible on the French government’s public data platform, data.gouv.fr.
In line with its ICData strategy, the AMF started sharing its data assets in May 2022 by making data on short selling available to the public. Now, the scope of freely downloadable data from data.gouv.fr is being expanded further, encompassing companies that have been on the AMF’s blacklists since 2010.
The blacklists, already accessible on the AMF website under „Retail Investors,“ contain information about companies offering unauthorized financial investments to French residents, such as forex, crypto-assets or derivatives, miscellaneous goods, or crowdfunding. Additionally, the blacklists may include websites posing as duly regulated players. By sharing these blacklists on data.gouv.fr, the AMF aims to promote wider dissemination among stakeholders, ensuring better protection for investors. Stakeholders can also use the lists in their own warning and prevention systems. The shared file is updated daily and available for automated processing, allowing identification of concerned parties, contact points, product categories, and the date of listing.
The AMF plans to gradually expand the range of freely downloadable data, and interactive dashboards based on regulator-provided data are being developed for public access. Moreover, the publication of white lists of AMF approved providers is also on the horizon.
