IOSCO and CPSS to review standards for financial market structures
Yesterday, the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS) and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) announced the launch of a comprehensive review of financial market infrastructure standards, including payment systems, securities settlement systems and central counterparties. The review, which will be led by CPSS members (consisting of central banks, including the Bank of Canada), members of the IOSCO Technical Committee (which includes the OSC and AMF), the IMF and World Bank, is part of an initiative "to reduce the risks that arise from interconnectedness in the financial system."
