The Autorité des marchés financiers proposes amendments to Regulation 25-102 to establish formal conditions and criteria for designating benchmarks as critical, regulated-data, interest rate, or commodity categories. These changes replace discretionary guidance with statutory requirements to enhance certainty and predictability for benchmark administrators, contributors, and users. The Authority invites public comments on the draft regulation and associated policy statement by June 25, 2024.
