Abstract

Regulation of financial markets consists of four pillars of financial laws and regulations, the institutional structure of financial market regulation, the executive function of regulation, and the independence or convergence of regulatory institutions, among which the institutional structure of regulation is of special importance. After the occurrence of international financial crises, various countries have tried to redesign the institutional structure of their financial market regulation in order to prevent the recurrence of crises. In Iran, some destabilizing events have made many financial experts believe that the institutional structure of financial regulation should be redesigned. In this regard, the main issue that this article seeks to examine is the necessity of reviewing the institutional structure of financial market regulation in Iran with an attitude towards the experience of other legal systems. The main goal is to identify the main axes that should be taken into consideration in redesigning the institutional structure of financial market regulation in Iran by examining the models of the institutional structure of financial regulation at the international level. In this review, it is clear that the two main issues of "convergence and communication between financial regulatory institutions" and "strengthening macro-prudential supervision of financial market institutions" have been the most important axes of structural changes in different countries. By examining the institutional structure of financial market regulation in Iran, it is clear that this structure in Iran lacks a coordinating institution for financial regulation and a macro-prudential supervision institution for institutions in the money, capital and insurance markets.
