Infrastructure Council for Payments and Securities

The Infrastructure Council shall promote active dialogue between market participants and infrastructures (FMIs) by exchanging opinions and working together on issues of a strategic nature that are related to payments and securities.

On the Riksbank’s initiative, agents and authorities involved in the infrastructure for payments and securities have formed a Swedish Infrastructure Council for Payments and Securities. Participants in the Council discuss strategic issues, keep each other informed and pursue dialogue about ongoing and future change projects related to the financial infrastructure.

The Infrastructure Council shall act as a common resource for market stakeholders and strive for transparency in its work.  The Riksbank acts as convener and is responsible for the administrative work. Information from Infrastructure Council meetings can be found on this page.
