IOSCO chief heads to FSB

The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) — a Spain-based umbrella group of global securities regulators — is looking for a new chief of staff.

IOSCO’s secretary general, Martin Moloney, is moving to the Financial Stability Board (FSB), where he has been appointed deputy secretary general, effective Sept. 1.

Moloney was nearing the end of a three-year term as IOSCO secretary general, which began in Sept 2021.

With Moloney’s departure, IOSCO named Tajinder Singh as its acting secretary general. Singh joined IOSCO in 2010 as deputy secretary general.

“Tajinder is best placed to lead the secretariat and to ensure continuity… given his deep understanding of IOSCO’s objectives and his broad knowledge of and experience with international standard setting,” the group said in a statement.
