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.
