Mission

P.R.I.M.E. Finance is the Panel of Recognised International Market Experts in Finance, an independent, not-for-profit foundation based in The Hague and established in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis. Its mission is to reduce legal uncertainty and systemic risk by ensuring that the requisite expertise is available to anticipate and address any disputes that may arise in the financial markets.. Its goal in doing so is to foster financial market stability and confidence in, and a more settled and authoritative body of law for, world finance.

P.R.I.M.E. Finance’s traditional focus has been on issues arising in relation to industry standards (e.g., documentation, market practices, valuations) for derivatives and other complex financial products. Now, with the growing interest in areas such as sustainable finance and financial technology, P.R.I.M.E. Finance also aims to anticipate how disputes may arise in these and other emerging areas of the financial markets and consider how it can best address them.
