The Portuguese Securities Market Commission, also known by its initials as "CMVM", is the Portuguese financial regulator that supervises and regulates securities and other financial instruments and activities of all those who operate within said markets.[1]

The CMVM is an independent public agency endowed with administrative and financial autonomy. It derives its income from supervision fees charged for services and not the General State Budget.
