The Global Financial Markets Association (GFMA) is a global trade association established in 2009 that represents the interests of the financial and capital markets industry. It serves as an umbrella organization for three major regional associations: the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) in the Americas, the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME), and the Asian Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (ASIFMA). GFMA focuses on promoting fair and orderly markets, regulatory compliance, and market resiliency through collaboration with policymakers and industry stakeholders. GFMA engages in advocacy, research, regulatory engagement, and operational guidance. It acts as a primary lobbying channel for global financial services, coordinating policy positions on various issues. The organization produces industry reports and analysis, collaborates with peer organizations, and works with regulators to standardize compliance and improve market infrastructure. GFMA's membership includes global systemically important banks and leading financial institutions, representing the interests of broker-dealers, investment banks, and capital market participants.
