Regulatory Policy

Developing and maintaining the regulatory policy framework for Ireland’s financial services sector is a key part of our mandate. We produce and maintain clear, concise and effective policies which are consistent with our objectives. These policies provide the basis for supervising and enforcing the key principles of organisational and financial soundness, consumer protection and effectively functioning markets.
