French Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority

[2] A number of financial supervisory authorities were created in France over the years and with various mandates.

These included:[4] In January 2010, the ACP was formed by executive order through the merger of the Banking Commission, ACAM, and CECEI.

[10] In 2017, the ACPR lost its previous status of independent administrative authority (Article 24 of Law 2017-55 of 20 January 2017),[11] and thus became more directly integrated into the Bank of France.

From July 2020 to April 2021, the ACPR conducted the first assessment of financial risks resulting from climate change,[12] which included 22 insurance organizations and 9 banking groups.

[15] It occasionally launches public consultations on different issues, as was the case in 2013, when it drafted the regulations for crowdfunding following a public consultation launched alongside the Autorité des marchés financiers and the French Ministry of the Economy and Finance.
