A global institution named Joint Forum (JF) has advised financial
supervisors across the globe to keep a tab on tax element of financial
conglomerates while assessing the appropriateness of the distribution of capital
resources within the group.
The advice forms part of the explanatory
statement to the draft Principles for the Supervision of Financial Conglomerates
issued by JF, which is an apex body of global financial regulatory
associations.
It has given this advice in its consultative report
captioned ‘Principles for the Supervision of Financial Conglomerates’ that was
issued on 19 December.
Established in 1996, JF comprises Basel Committee
on Banking, Supervision (BCBS), the International Organization of Securities
Commissions (IOSCO) and the International Association of Insurance Supervisors
(IAIS), senior banks, insurance and securities supervisors. JF deals with issues
common to the banking, securities and insurance sectors, including the
regulation of financial conglomerates.
