International Assessments

International Monetary Fund

The International Monetary Fund's (IMF) Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) evaluates the strength of a country's financial system and regulatory architecture. As a country deemed by the IMF to have a systemically important financial system, Australia has committed to undergo an FSAP every five years. Australia's third FSAP was published in February 2019, followings its first and second in 2006 and 2012 respectively.
