The Financial Stability Board

At the Pittsburgh Summit, the Heads of State and Governments of the Group of Twenty agreed the creation of the Financial Stability Board (FSB). They endorsed the FSB’s original Charter of 25 September 2009 which set out the FSB’s key role in promoting the reform of international financial regulation. 

The FSB is comprised of 3 bodies; The SCAV who identify and assess risks, the SRC who frame a regulatory or supervisory policy response to a material vulnerability identified by SCAV and the SCSI who monitor the implementation of agreed FSB policy initiatives and international standards.

The FSB contains the world’s largest international political/economic institutions as its board members;
