What Is CONSOB?
CONSOB (Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa) is Italy's securities regulator. It oversees the Italian financial market, including stocks, bonds, and Forex brokers that operate in or serve Italy.
What CONSOB Regulates
CONSOB's oversight of the Forex market covers:
- Regulation and supervision: setting rules for market operations and ensuring compliance.
- Market surveillance: monitoring transactions to prevent market abuse.
- Investor protection: safeguarding investor interests and promoting financial education.
- Corporate governance oversight: ensuring transparency and fairness in corporate operations.
Why CONSOB Regulation Matters for Forex Traders
A broker holding a CONSOB license is subject to Italian regulatory oversight: rules on how it can operate, ongoing market-abuse monitoring, and investor-protection requirements. Checking whether a broker is CONSOB-regulated is a basic step before opening an account with a broker that targets Italian clients.
