IOSCO Annual Conference 2019

Published

The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) has selected ASIC to host in Sydney its 2019 annual conference.

IOSCO is the international body that brings together the world's securities regulators and is seen as the key global reference point for securities regulation.

IOSCO develops, implements and promotes adherence to internationally recognized standards for securities regulation and its membership regulates more than 95% of the world's securities markets in more than 120 jurisdictions.

The IOSCO annual conference is arguably the premier international financial services event that runs over five days, attracts around 500 global delegates and includes internal IOSCO decision-making committees.

ASIC chairman Greg Medcraft said: 'This event puts the focus on Sydney as a global financial centre. It is a great opportunity for Australia to showcase our markets, our regulatory framework and, more broadly, our recent economic story and strengths.

'Crucially, it is also a chance for our local industry to engage with their counterparts and regulators in other jurisdictions.'
