The Financial Stability Board (FSB) is an international agency responsible for supervising and making recommendations on the global financial system. It promotes international financial stability by coordinating national financial authorities and international standard setting agencies to formulate strong regulatory, supervisory and sectoral policies. FSB can promote fair competition in financial markets by encouraging consistent implementation of these policies across departments and jurisdictions.

(3) The potential influence and use power across multiple jurisdictions—the technical infrastructure on which the stability currency project is based is not limited by the geographical scope.
