The mission of The Global Financial Markets Organisation (GFMO) is to promote safe, sound, and efficient financial markets that support economic growth, employment, and investment.
GFMO deal with Stock Exchanges from all over the world and work with stakeholders and policymakers in ensuring open financial markets that benefit from well-crafted, globally consistent regulations.
By increasing information flow we are able to achieve far more active, efficient, and transparent capital markets that facilitate the capital formation so important to every nation's economy. This in turn helps build public trust and confidence in financial markets through a focus on transparency and systemic stability and ultimately leads to healthier and fairer financial markets for all investors.
As more and more first-time investors turn to the markets to help secure their futures, pay for homes, and send children to college, our mission is more compelling than ever. Unlike the banking world, where in most countries deposits are guaranteed by the federal government, stocks, bonds and other securities can be volatile. That’s why GFMO work hard to ensure all investors have access to timely, comprehensive, and accurate information which can help people make sound investment decisions.
GFMO promote the adoption of market-led solutions, standards and practices and serve as a provider of authoritative industry expertise and views for public officials, private individuals, and the media. We have members across 45 countries and are continually expanding our monitoring process. GFMO assist in the formulation and adoption of market solutions, standards, and practices that contribute to the efficient and reliable functioning of international financial markets.
