Preventing future crises requires in particular:

  • Enabling the identification and preventative treatment of systemic risks for financial players or activities,
  • Improving the coordination of supervision for cross-border financial groups
  • Ensuring more transparent operations on the markets,
  • Clarifying responsibilities of investment fund players
  • Factoring in the accounting and prudential requirements of long-term investment.

These are the objectives on which Eurofi has focused its proposals.
