Welcome to the International Capital Market Association
For over 50 years ICMA and its members have worked together to promote the development of the international capital and securities markets, pioneering the rules, principles and recommendations which have laid the foundations for their successful operation.
In pursuit of its objectives, ICMA brings together members from all segments of the wholesale and retail debt securities markets, through regional and sectoral member committees, and focuses on a comprehensive range of market practice and regulatory issues which impact all aspects of international market functioning. ICMA prioritises three core fixed income market areas – primary, secondary, repo and collateral: with two cross-cutting themes of sustainable finance and FinTech and digitalisation.
