Research on financial regulation and supervision.
The platform exists to build shared industry and public understanding of financial regulation and supervision: how frameworks work, how they compare and how they change, with an explicit distinction from regulators and their authority.
Scope
Financial stability, governance and institutions, and capital markets and investment.
Who takes part
Regulatory scholars, supervisors taking part in their institutional role, never as members and compliance professionals.
What it publishes
Regulation research briefs and supervisory learning material.
How regulation addresses physical, operational, technological and systemic risk.
The table summarises published rules and guidance; it does not interpret them for any firm.
| Risk class | Regulatory response | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Physical | Climate risk in governance, risk management, scenario analysis and disclosure; supervisory climate exercises | BCBS climate principles (2022); IAIS climate application paper (2025); NGFS supervisory guide |
| Operational | Operational resilience, outsourcing and critical third-party oversight | BCBS operational resilience principles (2021); EU DORA; FSB third-party toolkit |
| Technological | Model risk management, AI governance, cyber incident reporting, crypto-asset perimeter | Model risk guidance; EU AI Act; FSB Cyber Lexicon; MiCA |
| Systemic | Macroprudential buffers, resolution regimes, nonbank leverage measures | Basel Framework; FSB Key Attributes; FSB nonbank recommendations |
Evidence about rules, and where it goes.
Financial Regulation Nexus prepares comparative maps of how standards on climate, operational resilience and model risk are implemented, method notes on supervisory scenario design and data, and evidence briefs on what reforms were meant to achieve and what is known about their effects. Findings are designed to feed the Finance and Insurance Readiness series and the Methods and Technical series of Reports and to use the proposed central banks and supervisors profile of the Nexus Standards.
Boundary. GRA is not a regulator or supervisor, holds no public authority and gives no regulatory, legal or compliance advice. Supervisors take part only in their institutional role. If GRA responds to a public consultation, the response is designed to be published in full and labelled as GRA's own. Readiness: resilience and finance readiness.
Who is responsible.
Global Risks Alliance (GRA) publishes Financial Regulation Nexus and answers for its content under the rules in trust, rights and status.
