Purpose and scope
- Informs the Executive Board of the staff-level understandings reached with global Standard Setting Bodies (SSBs) on the use of the three financial sector supervisory standards in FSAPs.
- The three supervisory standards covered:
- the Basel Committee’s Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision (BCP), set by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS);
- the Insurance Core Principles (ICP), set by the International Association of Insurance Supervisors (IAIS); and
- the Objectives and Principles of Securities Regulation (Principles), set by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).
Approach to assessments
- Graded assessments of compliance with supervisory standards are voluntary.
- FSAPs have adopted a flexible approach to the use of supervisory standards:
- A standard is either assessed in full, resulting in grades, or
- Used as the basis for a deeper analysis of selected elements of the oversight framework in a focused review, without grades.
- The SSBs and Fund staff have reached understandings on a refinement of the existing flexible approach, with sets of “base principles” serving as the starting points for focused reviews.
