Abstract

[eng] The financial markets watchdog in France : between state and market . The French legislator is asking the financial markets watchdog AMF to heighten scrutiny over publicly disclosed information and to ensure its meaningful and materially accurate content. How does the AMF enforce its rules when it has neither the power nor the legitimacy of the Parliament ? We attempt to answer this question by analysing the historical, the institutional and the sociological roots of the regulator’s authority. Results show that the increasing independence of the regulator (from the government) and its proximity to the financial market undermine both its political and juridical legitimacy. . Classification JEL : G18, G19, K22 [fre] En France, le régulateur a été chargé par l’État de veiller à la bonne information des investisseurs. Il ne dispose toutefois en la matière ni des moyens, ni de la légitimité a priori du législateur. Comment parvient-il alors à imposer ses exigences informationnelles ? Nous mettons à jour, à travers une étude documentaire, les fondements historiques, institutionnels et sociologiques de l’autorité du régulateur. Les résultats semblent indiquer que l’indépendance croissante du régulateur vis-à-vis de l’État et sa proximité grandissante à l’égard du marché fragilisent respectivement sa légitimité politique et juridique. .
