Commissioner Pham Announces Members of the CFTC’s Global Markets Advisory Committee
January 12, 2023
Washington, D.C. — CFTC Commissioner Caroline D. Pham, sponsor of the Global Markets Advisory Committee (GMAC), today announced the new and returning GMAC members. The first public meeting of the GMAC will be announced soon.
“I am pleased to welcome the GMAC members and thank them for their willingness to serve and support these important initiatives,” said Commissioner Pham. “Over the past few months I have traveled to key markets trading hubs around the world, and met with central bankers, regulators, other policymakers, and market participants to promote the GMAC’s international engagement and get a firsthand understanding of any shifts in market structure or capital flows, and insights on priorities and outlook for global markets. Given the incredible challenges of the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, it is more critical than ever to have the input and expertise of these executive leaders as a resource for the Commission. I am energized about the relaunch of the GMAC and the work program we will tackle as we develop potential solutions to the most significant current and emerging issues in global markets.”

The Global Markets Advisory Committee (GMAC) was created to advise the Commission on issues that affect the integrity and competitiveness of U.S. markets and U.S. firms engaged in global business, including the regulatory challenges of a global marketplace that reflects the increasing interconnectedness of markets and the multinational nature of business. The GMAC also makes recommendations regarding international standards for regulating futures, swaps, options, and derivatives markets, as well as intermediaries. Members include financial market infrastructures, market participants, end-users, service providers, and regulators.
Gates S. Hurand, Chief Counsel to Commissioner Pham, is the Designated Federal Officer, and Meghan Tente, Chief of Staff to Commissioner Pham, is the Alternate Designated Federal Officer.
There are five active Advisory Committees overseen by the CFTC. They were created to provide advice and recommendations to the Commission on a variety of regulatory and market issues that affect the integrity and competitiveness of U.S. markets. These committees facilitate communication between the Commission and market participants, other regulators, and academics. The views, opinions, and information expressed by the Advisory Committees are solely those of the respective Advisory Committee and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Commission, its staff, or the U.S. government.
