Welcome to the U.S. Treasury standards and codes
homepage. The following links provide a description
of the 12 key standards highlighted in the
Financial Stability Forum's Compendium of
Standards, and allow you to download or link to
the self-assessments that have been completed.
The Financial Stability Forum (FSF) has
identified these 12 standards as priorities for
countries to implement in order to promote
financial stability and to help prevent financial
crises. The self-assessments have been prepared by
the U.S. Treasury, other U.S. government agencies,
the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
(NAIC), or private sector bodies. The U.S. Treasury
is making these assessments available on its
website to demonstrate the United States'
commitment to implementation of these standards in
the U.S. and around the world.
Descriptions of some of the standards that
follow are excerpted from the pamphlet entitled
"International Codes and Standards to Strengthen
Financial Systems" published by the FSF in April
2001 and available from the FSF secretariat.
