Markets Expert Advisory Group
ASIC’s Markets Expert Advisory Group (MEAG) is a time-limited advisory body that provides ASIC with advice, external challenge, market expertise and international perspectives to identify and prioritise actions that support efficient, resilient, accessible and internationally competitive capital markets.
The Group will complement, rather than replace, ASIC’s existing consultative panels, direct industry engagement and other government and industry forums.
It will meet approximately every two months, with targeted work between meetings where appropriate.
Group members
Chaired by ASIC Commissioner Simone Constant, the Group will comprise up to 12 market leaders appointed for their relevant expertise and experience and are appointed in their personal capacity. The Group is consultative only and has no decision-making authority, with statutory and regulatory decisions remaining the responsibility of ASIC.
