International Capital Market Association (ICMA) (2019 CCMC)
The International Capital Market Association (ICMA) has made a significant contribution to the development of the international capital market for over 50 years by encouraging interaction between all market participants: issuers, lead managers, dealers and investors.
ICMA is a trade association, representing members globally, who are active in the international capital market on a cross border basis. It is also distinctive amongst trade associations in representing both the buy-side and the sell-side of the industry.
ICMA works to maintain the framework of cross-border issuing, trading and investing through development of internationally accepted standard market practices, while liaising closely with governments, regulators, central banks and stock exchanges, helping to ensure that financial regulation promotes the efficiency and cost effectiveness of the international capital market.
ICMA supports the growth of green, social and sustainable bond markets through its management of the Green Bond Principles (GBP) and Social Bond Principles (SBP), as well as the Sustainability Bond Guidelines (SBG), the leading framework globally for issuance of green, social and sustainability bonds.
570 members in more than 60 countries are already experiencing the direct benefits of ICMA membership. Find out about joining us.
