March 9, 2009.  Joint trade associations' briefing paper for the London Summit
ICMA, together with LIBA, SIFMA, ICMA, ISDA, FOA, and IIAC have subscribed to the attached paper that provides a briefing for the key G20 working groups who are preparing reports for submission to finance ministers in preparation for their 14 March meeting – which sets the stage for the London, 2 April G20 leaders follow up summit.  This has been sent to HM Treasury and further distributed to the co-Chairs and members of the G20 Working Groups, the IMF, FSF, IOSCO, Basel Committee, and G20 Deputies.
 
The paper starts with a summary of key points - support for the G20 Action Plan; active engagement by industry through own initiatives and participation in the work of relevant international fora; desire for global consistency of policy responses; and suggestions that progress be tracked and the aggregate impact of initiatives be carefully considered.  Section A then summarises suggested points of particular priority in order to restore market confidence and effective market operation; section B summarises some of the main areas where the industry is working with supervisors to deliver improvements (supporting detail is provided in Annex 2); and section C reviews each point for working groups 1 & 2 from the November Action Plan, expressing support and identifying related considerations.

November 10, 2008. Global regulatory modernisation: key objectives and principles. Joint trade associations' note for the G20 Summit
  
 

We are aware that the European Commission, along with Heads of Government, is preparing for the G20 Summit in Washington on 15th November.  An international group of associations, which represents major firms active in international financial markets, suggests that a key aim of the Summit should be to agree the high-level objectives and principles in the context of which the global regulatory modernisation discussions that will flow from the Summit should be conducted.  The attached paper suggests what those high-level objectives and principles should be.  In summary, they relate to:

  1. The need to re-establish financial stability, liquidity and market confidence
  2. The need to enhance tools and infrastructure for effective coordination, cooperation and exchange of information between regulators and policy makers globally
  3. The need to minimise and better anticipate systemic risk to the world financial system.
 On behalf of LIBA, ICMA, ISDA, SIFMA, BBA, and FOA 10th November 2008
