The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) published the 2023 Signalenmonitor, which analyzes incoming reports of potential misconduct in the financial sector. The document highlights that unlicensed providers of investment services received warnings and were placed on the warning list, with consumer complaints regarding consumer credit emerging as a new top-five signal. Additionally, the report notes a decrease in overall signals partly due to AFM enforcement actions against investment firms with European passports, while forex complaints disappeared from the top five.
