Greg Medcraft of ASIC re-elected IOSCO Board Chair 

The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) today re-elected Mr. Greg Medcraft as Chairman of the IOSCO Board. Mr. Medcraft was re-elected at the inaugural meeting of the newly constituted Board, during the IOSCO Annual Conference in Rio de Janeiro.

The Board re-elected Mr. Howard Wetson, Chair of the Ontario Securities Commission, as its Vice Chair. Mr. Ranjit Singh, who was re-elected Chair of the IOSCO Growth and Emerging Market (GEM) Committee on Monday, continues ex officio as Board Vice Chair. Mr. Singh is also the Chair of the Securities Commission Malaysia.

Mr. Medcraft told he was committed to working with the Board “with a clear focus on our work in building trust and confidence in the global markets we regulate.”

Mr. Medcraft is Chairman of the Australian Securities & Investment Commission (ASIC). He assumed the position of IOSCO Chair in March 2013, one year after the organization created its first Board through a three-way merger of the IOSCO Technical Committee, the Executive Committee and the Emerging Markets Committee Advisory Board. The move was aimed at streamlining IOSCO’s organizational structure over a two-year transitional period.
