Welcome to ABC Score™ Lab


A New Chapter in Financial Transparency and Informed Decision-Making

Global PSSL CIC is entering a new phase, with ABC Score™ Lab (Assess–Balance–Calibrate) becoming our principal workstream. The Lab will develop and test practical approaches to strengthen transparency, governance and informed decision-making across the wider financial system.

As part of this transition, we have suspended the Global PSSL Secretariat, College of Advisors and existing working teams. The Global PSSL Principles remain in place, while ABC Score™ will continue to be maintained and developed.

We will be refreshing this website soon to reflect our new direction and the broader work of ABC Score Lab.

Standards and Recommendations

Emerging markets

Securities lending and borrowing (SLB) has become an increasingly important element in emerging markets, especially those seeking to boost liquidity and attract international investors. Emerging markets could have an advantage over developing economies where best practices could be taken up and more easily embedded from the get-go if these SLB programmes are being developed only now.

Global PSSL has been very active in relation to emerging markets as evidenced by its work on a forward-looking standard.
