Hi! I’m Shahzad Gitay, and I had the pleasure of joining the FSB Secretariat in 2024, from the Bank of England.
At the FSB Secretariat, my main focus is on the analysis of potential vulnerabilities to financial stability under the Standing Committee on Assessment of Vulnerabilities (SCAV). Here, I lead the Secretariat coordination of one of SCAV’s technical sub-committees and contribute to the reports it produces; working closely with our members. Some of the recent topics we covered include Government Bond-backed Repo Markets, Private Credit, Non-bank Commercial Real Estate Investors. I was also involved in the FSB's Evaluation of Regulatory Securitisation Reforms. Seeing much this work published has been incredibly rewarding, and I’d definitely recommend giving it a read, starting with the Repo Markets report!
Beyond this, I’ve really enjoyed getting involved in other areas of the FSB work. I support the FSB’s G20 coordination efforts, am contributing to our forthcoming report on sound practices for AI, and co-support the FSB’s Regional Consultative Group for the Middle East and North Africa.
It is a fantastic experience to work on such a diverse range of topics with colleagues and FSB members from such diverse backgrounds and across the world. Tackling global issues together has been both challenging and inspiring, and I’m excited to see what lies ahead!
