Question 1 • Given recent consolidation in the global financial system, how do we ensure regulatory consistency across all three sectors?
Question 2 • How do we recognise and eliminate inconsistencies to contribute to a more efficient global financial system and avoid unnecessary regulatory arbitrage?
Question 3 • How regulators and the standard setters take best advantage of the accumulated wisdom being collected as a spin-off from the IMF/WB FSAP and ROSC assessments?
Question 4 • How do we ensure that the process of drafting, approving and implementing codes and standards for the global financial sector contributes most effectively to financial stability and sustainable economic growth?
Question 5 • As regulators, can we afford not to think as conglomerates?
