APEC Financial Regulators Training Initiative

Overview

FRTI is being implemented in stages. From September 1998 to November 2000, FRTI Phase 1 focused on building sustainable training management processes and guidelines. It produced five outputs:

• guidelines and best practices for training purposes
• model curriculum frameworks for bank supervisors and securities regulators at both entry and intermediary levels
• basic and intermediate course templates
• trained potential instructors at a national level based on model curricula
• web-based training materials for training management and training needs strategies

In September 2000, APEC FMM endorsed Phase 2 of the FRTI, to conduct training courses at regional and national levels, and to develop and distribute training materials and other products for use by member countries. Phase 2 began in 2001 and is continuing.
