International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO)

The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) is a global policy forum for securities and derivatives regulators, setting out principles and standards for financial markets regulation.[1]

Its membership comprises securities regulators across multiple jurisdictions, providing a framework through which regulators consult and coordinate on issues affecting securities markets, market integrity, and related regulatory expectations.[1]

While not a payments or treasury provider, IOSCO’s work is relevant to trade finance and treasury because its regulatory standards shape the compliance environment for financial market participants, including firms involved in cross-border transactions and the trading/financing of financial instruments.[1]
