Retail Investment Strategy (RIS) : AFG publishes joint position with key financial stakeholders in France

Posted on 14 Mar 2025

At a critical moment as the trilogue discussions on the European Retail Investment Strategy (RIS) begin, AFG, alongside key financial players in Paris such as Paris EuroplaceFBF (Fédération Bancaire Française), and France Assureurs, has published a joint position. This position emphasizes a strong ambition: to increase retail investor participation in European financial markets, supporting the financing of European businesses.

To achieve this goal, AFG believes a comprehensive revision of the current draft of the RIS is essential. The proposed changes aim to ensure that retail investors have access to financial products that serve their best interests, while enhancing the competitiveness of European markets and businesses.

This initiative highlights AFG’s ongoing commitment to promoting measures that benefit both investors and the broader European economy.
