SIX actively engages in the evolution of policy specifically in Switzerland, Spain, and the EU, but also in other relevant jurisdictions where SIX has regulatory authorizations. We advocate for continued development to ensure the effective functioning of the financial markets and of our FMI businesses. In these jurisdictions, SIX is in direct contact with government officials, legislators and policymakers, competent authorities, and other relevant stakeholders and associations, not least because of the important supervisory regulations to which SIX is subject.
In addition, SIX is active on developments at the level of international standard setters such as IOSCO, BCBS and FSB and closely follows and engages with these bodies, contributing to the work undertaken. We endorse many of the policy positions they promote to enhance the efficiency of FMI globally.
Evolution of domestic and international regulations are a very important part of our policy activities as our authorisations are subject to such measures. Our FMI business areas seek to ensure these are effective and we, as operators, fully comply with the obligations imposed. These interactions take place directly or via relevant industry associations or groups.
