A co-operative oversight arrangement established by the central banks whose currencies are settled in the CLS system, organized and administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
The Oversight Committee serves as a mechanism for participating central banks to carry out their individual responsibilities for the safety and efficiency of payment and settlement systems, and the stability of the financial system.
Protocol
The committee operates in accordance with the Protocol for the Cooperative Oversight Arrangement of CLS, which is designed to enhance efficiency by minimizing duplicative efforts; foster consistent
and transparent communications; enhance transparency; and support fully informed central bank assessments and decision-making.
Members
There are currently 23 members on the Oversight Committee (representing the 18 CLSSettlement-eligible currencies plus five additional Eurosystem central banks).
