“Strong and effective cooperation and information exchange are key
to preserving financial stability,” stressed Richard Walker,
chairman of the MMoU’s Interim Signatories Working Group.
“The MMoU has a crucial part to play in this,” he added.
Walker explained that each authority applying to be a MMoU
signatory undergoes a rigorous and independent validation process
to ascertain whether the minimum standards of the MMoU are
satisfied.
“Signatories can therefore take comfort that the information they
exchange is properly protected,” said Walker.
