Bailey is currently chairman of the FSB’s Standing Committee on Supervisory and Legislative Cooperation. In this position, Bailey monitored the development of FSB’s global regulatory framework for crypto-active activities and crypto-active implementation cards.

“Andrew has a tested track record to promote cooperation after led the recent key FSB reform initiatives, including on crypto assets and non-bank financial dissemination,” Klaas Knot, president of De Nederlandsche Bank and President of FSB, said in the statement. “This positions him well to guide FSB forward with a focus on ensuring a successful implementation of agreed reforms.” Knots period as FSB chair ends in June.
