On Wednesday 5th of October, 2022 the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) hosted the Financial Stability Board's (FSB) Standing Committee on Standards Implementation (SCSI). The Committee is currently chaired by His Excellency Fahad Almubarak, Governor of the Saudi Central Bank.

The Committee members' discussions covered various topics including: COVID-19 monitoring, monitoring of non-bank financial intermediation (NBFI) reforms, the draft FSB annual report to the G20, and the creation of a new group to support analysis of the effectiveness of reforms.

The agenda also included discussion of follow-up to the FSB's Thematic Peer Reviews (Bank Resolution Planning and Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) implementation), as well as potential future reviews.

The meeting finally concluded with a discussion of the Committee's 2023 work plan.
