Overview and Purpose

• Globalization requires enhanced information flows among financial regulators.
• Standard-setting bodies for financial sector regulation provide extensive guidance.
• Financial sector assessments have often found that problems in cooperation and information exchange continue to constrain cross-border supervision and financial integrity oversight.
• In July 2004, the IMF organized a conference on cross-border cooperation for standard setters, financial intelligence units (FIUs), and financial regulatory agencies.
• This book brings together conference papers discussing international cooperation, standards, practices, and survey-based assessments among financial sector regulators and FIUs.

Major Themes Covered

• Information exchange for an effective anti–money laundering/combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) regime, in terms of both standards and practices.
• Standards for cooperation in the insurance sector.
• Experiences of regulators from banking, securities, and unified regulatory agencies with international cooperation.
• General overview of international standards and their implementation.
• Survey results and analysis of practices among financial sector regulators and FIUs.
