AFME is the leading European capital market voice with over 175 members, representing the leading global and European banks active in Europe’s capital markets. AFME’s objective is to advocate for deep, efficient, resilient and integrated financial markets which will be key to enabling the EU’s recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, strengthening its competitiveness and fostering its transition to a digital and greener economy. We aim to engage constructively and use a facts-based approach with regulators and supervisors at European level and Member State levels to reach this objective.

AFME is convinced that Germany has a strong leadership role to play in contributing to the development of European capital markets. In 2017, AFME established its own office in Frankfurt, as a base for our outreach activities in Germany, adding to AFME’s existing presence in London and Brussels. Once a year, AFME organises a European Financial Integration conference in Frankfurt, bringing together leading policymakers and the industry.
