CPSS and IOSCO release report on financial market infrastructures

Posted on March 18, 2011

On March 10, the Bank for International Settlements'  Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems and the International Organization of Securities Commissions released a consultative report containing a set of principles designed to apply to financial market infrastructures that record, clear and settle transactions in financial markets. The new principles, which consider such issues as credit and liquidity risk management, settlement, efficiency and transparency, are intended to replace the existing sets of CPSS and CPSS-IOSCO standards and provide greater consistency in the regulation and oversight of FMIs worldwide.

The OSC, AMF and Bank of Canada recently cited their participation in developing the report and encouraged Canadian stakeholders to provide comments to IOSCO and the BIS by the July 29, 2011 deadline.
