Bilateral Agreements

Bilateral Agreements or Memoranda of Understanding – MoU are information exchange agreements signed between two regulators whose scope may range from the exchange of public information (regulatory aspects, market participant data) up to confidential information exchange for enforcement purposes.

Well before the establishment of the IOSCO MMOU, expansion of cross-border transactions involving securities and derivatives prompted the need to closer cooperation among regulators to ensure better investor protection and market integrity, leading to the entering into of a large number of bilateral agreements.

However, considering that the number of IOSCO MMOU signatories exceeded one hundred recently (2014), thus increasing the number of requests for assistance under that agreement, operation of bilateral MoUs has decreased, especially with respect to information exchange for enforcement purposes.
