By a chain reaction, on July 6, 2012, the German regulator, Bafin, opened an investigation into banks, with no doubt on Deutsche Bank, while the Japanese regulator, the "Securities Exchange Commission" in the United States, the Canadian competition office, in particular open all investigations since the 6 July concerning all banks within their competence on their statements. In addition, JP Morgan said that it was already the subject of a class action in this regard. The domino effect begins.

In Morocco, after months of adjustments to bring together stakeholders, a draft law has been prepared and introduced in the Council of Ministers the end of May 2012. The Département des assurances du ministère (Insurance Department) will then give way to an independent regulator, the Autorité de Contrôle des Assurances et de la Prévoyance Sociale - ACAPS (Supervisory Authority of Insurance and Social Welfare). Independent of the Executive, the regulator is financed by a tax on insurers and the administrative fines which it imposes. It is composed of two bodies. The first determines the general policy of the Authority, fixes the financial contribution due from insurers, approves staff plan, grants licences to insurers. The second, sets up by the President, draws up the annual budget, and adopts the agenda of the meetings and the decisions of sanctions. The Board of discipline certainly presided by a magistrate of the Cour de cassation (Civil Supreme Court), only provides an advisory opinion to the President of the Authority on proposed sanctions.
