The Financial Stability Institute (FSI)
The Bank for International Settlements and the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision jointly created the Financial Stability Institute (FSI) in 1999 to
assist financial sector supervisors around the world in improving and
strengthening their financial systems.
Objectives
The FSI's objectives are to:
- To promote sound supervisory standards and practices globally, and to support
full implementation of these standards in all countries.
- To provide supervisors with the latest information on market products,
practices and techniques to help them adapt to rapid innovations in the
financial sector.
- To help supervisors develop solutions to their multiple challenges by sharing
experiences in seminars, discussion forums and conferences.
- To assist supervisors in employing the practices and tools that will allow them
to meet everyday demands and tackle more ambitious goals.
Main activities
The FSI achieves its objectives through the following main activities:
- Events for financial sector supervisors such as
conferences, high level meetings, discussion forums, and seminars held in
Switzerland and globally

resource for supervisors
