IOSCO framework for identifying strategic priorities

20 April 2007

Financial organizations and regulators have been making increasing use of formalized tools for assessment and prioritization of strategic issues. Against this background, several elements have led the Technical Committee of IOSCO to consider ways to reduce the complexity of its own decision making process, including:

the wide field of IOSCO’s project specifications and domains of activity;

the intrinsically difficult assessment of costs and benefits of financial regulations;

the rising number and complexity of financial risks to be addressed by regulators;

the desire to improve the quality and reach of its consultation exercises.

IOSCO therefore conducts a pilot exercise to develop a framework for improving the process of selecting issues to be addressed

Deadline for comments is 20 July 2007
