Regulatory Projects

Regulation is never easy to do well.  

I enjoy finding practical solutions to complex regulatory challenges and helping other regulators do the same.

Here are some examples of current and past projects.

Reviewing Jersey parliamentarians' pay

Appointed as independent statutory reviewer of the pay of Members of Jersey's States Assembly

Helping supervisors navigate climate transition

Authored practical guide for securities supervisors on navigating climate change and 'green' finance and led regional seminars for supervisory authorities on climate-related standards and their use in supervision.

Building tailored technical assistance

Participated in IMF FSSRs and other technical assistance work to provide tailored diagnosis and delivery of assistance to jurisdictions in Asia, Africa, central America and the Caribbean. 

Outputs are tailored to individual authorities and confidential unless the requesting authority chooses to publish.  Ranging from support drafting new regulations, to a diagnostic roadmap for short- and medium-term supervisory capacity development. Here is one published example.

Harnessing regtech and data for women's financial inclusion

Principal author for Toronto Centre's USAid-funded engagement to develop tools for regulators to enhance their use of sex-disaggregated data and regtech, and help regulators take the next steps towards gender-aware supervision.
