The AMCC consists of SROs, securities exchanges, financial market infrastructures, investor protection funds and other organisations. The AMCC approved three new work streams and discussed with the IOSCO General Secretariat how to take this work forward. The following mandates, which are closely aligned with IOSCO's research and policy work, were approved: Investment Management Data, Emerging Risks, and Cyber Threats.
Mr José Carlos Doherty, Chairman of the AMCC and CEO of the Brazilian Financial and Capital Market Association (ANBIMA), highlighted the importance of these new steps for the inclusiveness of the committee and for its consultative role within IOSCO: “Our members have a lot to contribute to these work streams as they have a practitioner perspective that complements the work of the securities regulators who constitute the ordinary membership of IOSCO".
IOSCO Secretary General David Wright said: “I very much welcome this new forward-looking agenda and the priority global policy areas that the AMCC have agreed to work intensively on. It is very important that IOSCO draws together and benefits from the expertise of all its membership. There is no doubt the AMCC has a major contribution to make.“
Participants at the meeting also discussed other areas of mutual interest, such as crowd-funding and technological issues on market infrastructure.
