CPMI - Organisation and governance
The Global Economy Meeting (GEM) is the governing body of the CPMI. The CPMI reports to the GEM and, through the Economic Consultative Committee (ECC), seeks the GEM's endorsement for major decisions.
The Committee is composed of representatives of its members and meets about three times per year. CPMI members may appoint one representative and one alternate to attend Committee meetings. Decisions are reached by way of consensus among members.
The Committee may establish working groups to perform specifically assigned tasks or functions.

The CPMI cooperates with other standard setters (in particular the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) and the (BCBS)), other central bank bodies (such as the (CGFS)), international financial institutions and public sector bodies on matters falling within its mandate to enhance coordination of policy development and implementation.
The CPMI is a member of the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and participates in the FSB's work to coordinate and promote the implementation of effective regulatory, supervisory and other financial sector policies. In the context of its activities the CPMI maintains contact with many global payment system providers, industry associations and regulatory authorities.
The CPMI has developed relationships with central banks all over the world. In collaboration with the central banks and the BIS, it has published a number of Red Books on payment systems in non-CPMI countries.
If so requested and whenever possible, the CPMI provides expertise on payment system issues and organisational support to regional central banking organisations by providing speakers and/or co-organising seminars and workshops. For instance, it works with the Centro de Estudios Monetarios Latinoamericanos, the Gulf Cooperation Council, the Arab Monetary Fund, the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, the Executive's Meeting of East Asia-Pacific Central Banks, the South East Asian Central Banks, the Southern African Development Community and the Macroeconomic and Financial Management Institute of Eastern and Southern Africa.
