Italian Financial and Insurance Markets Regulation 

Italian financial and insurance markets are supervised by three National Competent Authorities.

The Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa (CONSOB) is the public authority responsible for regulating the Italian financial markets and protection of the investing public. The authority ensures: transparency and correct behaviour by financial market participants; disclosure of complete and accurate information to the investing public by listed companies; accuracy of the facts represented in the prospectuses related to offerings of transferable securities to the investing public; compliance with regulations by auditors entered in the Special Register. It also investigates about potential infringements of insider dealing and market manipulation law.
