Consultation Document on FMI Oversight
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand proposes modifying the existing Designation Regime to establish a formal oversight framework for systemically important financial market infrastructures. This enhanced regime grants the Reserve Bank and the Financial Markets Authority joint powers to designate entities, impose standards, and manage crises to ensure financial stability. The consultation seeks feedback on the scope, criteria for systemic importance, and the specific oversight mechanisms for key domestic and offshore infrastructures.
