The Autorité des marchés financiers (Québec) is a government regulator charged with overseeing Québec’s financial markets and helping consumers of financial products and services. It integrates oversight across insurance, securities, derivatives, non-bank deposit institutions, and the distribution of financial products and services, seeking to ensure orderly markets and consumer protection. Based in the Quebec City area in Quebec, the agency operates as a central authority within the province’s financial governance framework. Its remit covers market participants as well as consumers who rely on financial products and services, aiming to uphold market integrity and adequate supervision across insurance, securities, derivatives and other financial activities. A recent development is the agreement with Ontario and AMF France to support cross-listing of securities between Canada and France, reflecting its role in facilitating cross-border market activity.
