| Summary: | Over the past decade or so, the
prospects of long term economic, institutional and social
gains from regional and global financial and trade
liberalization have become more appealing to public and
private stakeholders. Indeed, since the late 1980’s both
developing and advanced economies have seen greater levels
of cross-border banking and the cross-border trading,
issuance and investment in securities and financial
derivatives. At the same time, recent events like the global
financial crisis that emerged in 2008 have prompted market
participants, their supervisors and other national
authorities, international organizations and standard
setting bodies to support more robust and ultimately
effective mechanisms to enable cross-border financial market
connectivity and liquidity, for the benefit of overall
financial stability and also of the final users of
cross-border financial services.The guidelines are designed
to correspond to themain public and private sector
objectives for financial market and infrastructure
integration, and to facilitate stakeholder realization of
the main benefits that are typically associated with FI
integration. The guidelines also address commonly
experienced barriers and challenges to efficient, effective
and safe regional financial infrastructure integration, in
order to improve accessibility and reachability for
customers and to help minimize the various costs and risks
often associated with integration efforts like these. |
