A. International Standards

The Joint Forum on Financial Conglomerates (Joint Forum), in which the Basel Committee, IOSCO, and IAIS participate, is presently developing a framework for the supervision of financial conglomerates and for the exchange of supervisory information.

The Joint Forum was established in early 1996 under the aegis of the Basel Committee, IOSCO, and the IAIS to take forward the work of the Tripartite Group whose report was released in July 1995. The Joint Forum is comprised of bank, insurance, and securities supervisors from thirteen countries; the EU Commission participates as an observer.
