The Financial Stability Board (FSB) is committed to meeting its December 2018 deadline for implementing its reporting framework on ‘shadow banking’, according to its progress report on tackling data gaps in financial markets.
The FSB, in conjunction with G20 members, aims to collect and aggregate data on securities financing transactions (SFTs) on the global level from a macroeconomic perspective and study the breakdown of changes in assets.
In a separate statement released prior to the report, the FSB acknowledged that its member jurisdictions are still in the “early stages” of implementation but the board is still set on achieving completion by the end of 2018.
The board also highlighted that it will be updating its reporting template for SFTs by the end of the year.
The report relates to the second phase of the G20’s ‘data gaps initiative’, which was set up after the 2008 financial crash to plug the holes in regulators’ understanding some areas of the financial markets.
The report comes a week after the FSB warned that around half of its member jurisdictions need to “urgently take steps” to get back on track with their implementation of over-the-counter margin requirements.
