How Can Supervisory Authorities Contribute to Meeting the UN SDGs?

TC note discusses how financial sector supervisory and regulatory authorities can help to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Toronto Centre Note discusses ways in which financial sector supervisory and regulatory authorities could promote financial inclusion and gender equality and address climate change-related risks, as part of broader national initiatives to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Some of these steps could be taken by supervisory authorities under their current mandates and objectives, but others may depend on their mandates being revised to reflect better the SDGs and broader national priorities. A greater emphasis on climate change, financial inclusion and gender equality in the principles and standards issued by international standard setters could also provide impetus for national supervisory authorities to take additional steps in these areas.
