Extensive activities aiming at the increase of stability, security and competition between banking and financial systems, especially in their international aspect, have been taken up by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision for over 30 years, but there are also other entities that carry out similar yet not identical activities and research. Obviously, nonę of the other international organizations or groups has such importance or prestige as the Basel Committee as far as banking system issues and financial systems security from the international aspect are concerned, but it is still worth focusing on the other organizations and entities of supranational character, whose main purpose is the increase of financial systems security and stability. Such entities deserve attention not only because of the growing importance of their activities and research effects, and, conseąuently, their position in international markets, but also because they freąuently cooperate with the Basel Committee and because they are entities which the Basel Committee consults about its proposals concerning the security of financial systems. It is worth introducing these entities which, in their operations and documents,
refer to the regulations of particular financial markets also because, contrary to the Basel Committee or the Financial Stability Forum, their basie aim of activity is the development of regulations not directly connected with the problems of banking or financial supervision. Their achievements freąuently allow for the handling of banking supervision issues in connection with macro-economics, fiscal policy or economic policy issues.
