<p> <strong>FSB encourages further work to improve financial institutions' risk disclosure practices</strong>
</p>
<p>
The FSB issued a press release <a href="https://staging.financialstabilityboard.org/#_msocom_1">[RT1]</a> on 20 March setting out steps to encourage improved risk disclosures by financial institutions. As part of this, the FSB will facilitate the formation of a private sector task force to develop principles for improved disclosures based on current market conditions and risks, including ways to enhance the comparability of disclosures. The FSB will also ask the task force to identify leading practices among current risk disclosures. The task force will be encouraged to have dialogue with standard-setting bodies.
</p>
<p> <strong>Notice on Technical Features of the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)</strong>
</p>
<p>
The FSB is working intensively to meet the G-20 mandate on the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) initiative. The Board has decided to provide clarity on <a href="/publications/r_120307.pdf" target="_blank">two technical points</a> in order to give early guidance to industry.
