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:
“To throw obstacles in the way of a complete education is like putting out the eyes; to deny the rights of property is like cutting off the hands. To refuse political equality is like robbing the ostracized of all self-respect, of credit in the market place, of recompense in the world of work, of a voice in choosing those who make and administer the law, a choice in the jury before whom they are tried, and in the judge who decides their punishment.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“I am out of practice at living.
You are as brave as a motorcycle.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The policy of dollar diplomacy is one that appeals alike to idealistic humanitarian sentiments, to dictates of sound policy, and strategy, and to legitimate commercial aims.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
