Toronto Centre understands that effective financial regulation and supervision are integral to a healthy, stable economy. Never has this been made more evident than during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, when strong regulatory procedures and practices were found to be lacking in many jurisdictions. At Toronto Centre, their objective is to promote financial stability and access globally by providing practical training to financial sector regulators and supervisors, particularly in emerging markets and low income countries. Stable economies create an environment for economic growth and job creation, while increased accessibility to financial services is an effective means to breaking the cycle of poverty.
