His appointment was formalised by Sovereign Ordinance number 12,047, signed on July 13, 2026 and published July 24, running through October 5, 2027. De Juvigny's AMF career began with his appointment as Secretary General in December 2012, a role that put him at the centre of French market oversight for more than a decade before his move to Monaco. He joins CCAF chair Gerard Rameix at the commission, another former president of the AMF, meaning two of the body's senior figures now share direct experience running France's own market regulator before taking up posts in Monaco. The appointment fits a pattern the principality has leaned into deliberately in recent years, recruiting senior regulators from larger neighbouring jurisdictions to staff the institutions responsible for Monaco's own financial credibility. For a principality whose economy depends heavily on being trusted with other people's money, the CCAF's composition is not a minor administrative detail, it is close to the whole point. Neither de Juvigny's nor Rameix's CV needs much translation for anyone who follows European financial regulation. What their shared background does is give Monaco's financial watchdog a level of institutional memory, and a set of contacts inside French regulatory circles, that a commission built purely from Monegasque appointees would take considerably longer to accumulate on its own. --- Originally published by Monaco Day.
