The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) has published the IOSCO Securities Markets Risk Outlook for 2013-2014. The report highlights important trends, vulnerabilities and risks in securities markets that may be of concern from a systemic perspective.

The Outlook is the result of a joint effort between the IOSCO Research Department and the Committee on Emerging Risks (CER), which is comprised of senior researchers, chief economists and risk officers of almost 30 securities markets regulators from around the world. The information and data were drawn from extensive consultation with experts, industry and other market participants; a survey to regulators, industry and academics; roundtables; and robust data analysis and literature review.

The Outlook is the first published edition of an annual series. Its aim is to provide IOSCO members with the information they need to adopt a forward looking approach in dealing with potential vulnerabilities and risks to global securities markets and the global financial system as a whole.
