AMF chairman Gerard Rameix said: “The newly established FinTech bridge between France and Singapore is an important step for innovative players willing to develop their activities internationally.
“Cooperation between our authorities will create significant synergies for the two markets and greater understanding enabling FinTech firms to extend their global reach and learn from their foreign counterparts.”
