FR – The AMF has published its position on the SFDR review
On 20 February 2024, the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) published a position paper outlining the key principles it believes should guide the SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation) review.
The AMF considers that the new framework should provide clarity in terms of product categorisation, and thus include product categories based on objective minimum criteria. Furthermore, the review should have a substantial emphasis on disclosure requirements, while seeking simplification wherever possible to focus on relevant disclosures for investors and taking into account other developments in the European sustainable finance agenda.
The AMF advocates for an objective, clear and simple EU product categorisation system, streamlined product disclosures and a refocusing of SFDR on product disclosures.
