12. 3. Overarching Strategy Lessons from the Global Financial Crisis: 1. While the crisis commenced in unregulated segments of the market and became a credit (rather than market) crisis, the key elements of risk were transmitted through markets which IOSCO members regulate or exempt from regulation. 2. While much has been written on the lessons from the crisis for industry, regulators and governments, there are a few key themes which have consistently surfaced in the literature, most notably in the G20 declarations: – The need for attention to be given to implementation of global standards; – The need for regulators to look for emerging systemic risks and take actions to mitigate them; and – The need for improved communication and cooperation globally between regulators.

13. 3. Overarching Strategy: reformed mission The suggested reformed mission aims would be that IOSCO’s members are committed: to cooperate together to develop, and promote adherence to and implementation of, internationally recognized standards of regulation in order to maintain orderly, efficient and fair markets, to reduce systemic risk and to protect investors; to exchange information on their respective experiences in order to assist the development of domestic markets and their appropriate regulation; and to promote investor confidence in the integrity of capital markets through effective cooperation in enforcement actions against misconduct in those markets.

14. 3. Overarching Strategy: strategic goals (1) 1. Maintain the international regulatory consensus for securities markets via the setting of international standards, especially through: oBuilding members´ regulatory capacity through the systematic implementation of the IOSCO Objectives and Principles of Securities Regulation throughout its membership and its training and education program; oBuilding the enforcement and surveillance framework, through full implementation of the IOSCO MOU, possible enhancements to it, and working with uncooperative and/or under regulated jurisdictions; and oDevelopment of international standards, through the systematic and periodic review of the IOSCO Objectives and Principles of Securities Regulation, and developing standards to deal with emerging risks and inadequate functioning of markets.

15. 3. Overarching Strategy: strategic goals (2) 2. Identify and address systemic risks to the fair and efficient functioning of markets, especially through: oBuilding an independent research capacity to identify risks to the fair and efficient functioning of markets; oDeveloping implementable actions, within members’ responsibility, to help mitigate these risks; oLiaising with other international financial standard setters and other global bodies having a mission complementary to that of IOSCO;

16. 3. Overarching Strategy: strategic goals (3) 3. Strengthen IOSCO´s role within the international financial community in order to advance the implementation of high-level objectives and principles of securities regulation, especially through: oRepresentation of IOSCO in relevant decision making forums; oStrengthening communications with stakeholders, in particular the other international financial standard setters and with bodies representing the industry; oImproving interaction within the IOSCO membership; and oEstablishing the accountability of relevant international standard setters to securities regulators.
