The Committee for Economic and Markets Analysis (CEMA) is a Standing Committee with responsibility to cover two broad areas:

• Financial markets monitoring and analysis: CEMA provides pro-active identification, monitoring, and assessment from a micro-prudential level of trends, potential risks and vulnerabilities in financial markets across borders and sectors, including a thorough focus on financial innovations, and incentives related to market practices both at the wholesale and retail level;
• Impact Assessment: The committee contributes to better regulation by actively supporting CESR’s commitment to Impact Assessments of existing and planned / proposed regulation and supervisory practice (ex ante and ex post Impact Assessments).

Any correspondence regarding the work of this group should be sent to the CESR Secretariat.
