This chapter seeks to provide an insight into the dynamics that take place between the EU and international standard-setting bodies, by first examining some of the features of global financial regulation which make it a unique area of global governance, then by investigating the wide variety of norm-generating bodies that are active in the field of banking and financial regulation, and the extent to which the EU is represented in these bodies. It then discusses the extent to which these bodies have influenced EU regulation in practice, focusing on the Union’s main regulatory efforts since the crisis. These reforms have been highly influenced by non-binding commitments made in informal bodies at the international level.
