Market Practice and Regulatory Policy
ICMA provides services for members through its market practice and regulatory policy activities in Europe and beyond by: setting standards of good practice for orderly markets, in consultation with members, so that membership is seen as a 'seal of approval' by their peers, supervisors and regulators; consulting members and representing members' views to regulators and central banks on cross-border regulatory issues that affect them; representing both the sell-side and buy-side together, when they agree, and facilitating dialogue between them; working in cooperation with other trade associations, where it is in ICMA's members' interests; and sharing ICMA's experience of setting standards of good market practice in Europe with trade associations and self-regulatory organisations in Europe and other parts of the world.
Given ICMA's geographically diverse membership, ICMA concentrates on cross-border, rather than domestic, regulatory and market practice issues. ICMA works closely with members through its market practices and regulatory policy committees and councils.

Famous quotes containing the words market, practice and/or policy:
“The market came with the dawn of civilization and it is not an invention of capitalism.... If it leads to improving the well-being of the people there is no contradiction with socialism.”
—Mikhail Gorbachev (b. 1931)
“Abused as we abuse it at present, dramatic art is in no sense cathartic; it is merely a form of emotional masturbation.... It is the rarest thing to find a player who has not had his character affected for the worse by the practice of his profession. Nobody can make a habit of self-exhibition, nobody can exploit his personality for the sake of exercising a kind of hypnotic power over others, and remain untouched by the process.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting the progress of the arts and the sciences and a flourishing culture in our land.”
—Mao Zedong (1893–1976)
