DDV in Europe and beyond
The DDV represents the interests of its members in a European and international context. One of the main tasks of the DDV is to expand the knowledge of all stakeholders about structured securities. For this purpose we provide information about products and the dynamics of the markets. Particular attention is paid to private investors so that they are well informed and have access to securities investments. The DDV contributes its expertise in the context of capital market regulation and participates constructively in the legislative process through submissions, statements and discussions. To this end, he works with associations from other European countries (including France, Italy, Austria and Sweden). In addition, the DDV is in regular contact with the European associations that represent the banking sector (European Banking Federation - EBF, European Savings and Retail Banking Group - ESBG, European Association of Cooperative Banks - EACB), as well as with the associations of asset managers (EFAMA) and the insurer (Insurance Europe). The DDV is a member of the European umbrella organization Eusipa.
As a niche player, the DDV has a great deal of scope to contribute ideas and promote exchange between the associations. In addition to this European network, the DDV has started to establish contacts with international organisations such as the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) and the International Capital Market Association (ICMA). Participation in the advisory committee of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), where discussions are held with regulators from around the world, also contributes to this reach.
