About the FSI

Created in 1998, the Financial Stability Institute (FSI) of the Bank for International Settlements has a mandate to assist supervisors worldwide in improving and strengthening their financial systems.  

The FSI delivers on its mandate by supporting the implementation of global regulatory standards and sound supervisory practices by central banks and financial sector regulatory and supervisory authorities worldwide. 

Key activities

FSI Advisory Board (FAB)

The FAB provides strategic advice to the FSI to help it fulfil its mandate in a way that remains responsive to the changing needs of financial sector authorities worldwide. 

The FAB, which typically meets once a year, aims to:

  • provide guidance on the formulation of the FSl's strategic goals
  • review the FSI's main achievements
  • provide input on the FSI's draft programme of activities and products
  • help promote awareness of the FSI and its activities

The BIS Financial Stability Institute Advisory Board was established in 2017. See press release.

The FAB comprises a geographically representative group of central bank Governors, heads of financial sector supervision and chairs of standard-setting bodies and regional supervisory groups.
