The Financial Stability Institute (FSI)
The Bank for International Settlements and the Basel Committee on
Banking Supervision jointly created the Financial Stability Institute (FSI) in
1999 to assist financial sector supervisors around the world in improving and
strengthening their financial systems.
Objectives
The FSI's objectives are to:
-
promote sound supervisory standards and practices globally, and
to support full implementation of these standards in all countries.
-
provide supervisors with the latest information on market
products, practices and techniques to help them adapt to rapid innovations in
the financial sector.
-
help supervisors develop solutions to their multiple challenges
by sharing experiences in seminars, discussion forums and conferences.
-
assist supervisors in employing the practices and tools that will
allow them to meet everyday demands and tackle more ambitious goals.
Main activities
The FSI achieves its objectives through the following main
activities:
- Events for financial sector supervisors such as conferences, high
level meetings, discussion forums, and seminars held in Switzerland and
globally
- FSI Connect, a web-based information
and learning resource for supervisors
- Publications such as occasional papers and a quarterly newsletter
The FSI also maintains a directory of courses
for financial supervisors organised by various institutions.
