History

AFME was formed in 2009 by the merger of the London Investment Banking Association (LIBA) and the European activities of the U.S.-based Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. At the same time, the Global Financial Markets Association was created to represent the securities and financial markets industry at the international level.[1]

Senior financial policymakers have regularly spoken at AFME events, e.g. European Commissioner Mairead McGuinness[2] and Bank of England deputy governor Jon Cunliffe.[3]

AFME generated controversy in 2019 when hiring Adam Farkas [de], the former executive director of the European Banking Authority, as its chief executive.[4]
