GL1 Market Infrastructure (MI) Toolkit

The GL1 MI toolkit enables financial institutions and market infrastructure operators to validate their services against existing frameworks and internationally recognised risk management standards across multiple jurisdictions. Through standardised assessment criteria, financial institutions and market infrastructure operators can demonstrate observance of the GL1 standards via self-attestation or independent auditor verification.
