    Solution

    • The  International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO)  is the global standard-setter for securities markets. Its core objectives, as stated in its preamble, are:
      1. To cooperate in developing, implementing, and promoting adherence to internationally recognized and consistent standards of securities regulation.
      2. To enhance investor protection.
      3. To reduce systemic risk in securities markets.
      4. To promote the integrity of markets by enforcing standards and combating misconduct.
        In essence, it is the securities market equivalent of the BCBS (for banking) and works to foster cross-border cooperation among securities regulators like SEBI.
