Riski

Fair, stable and transparent financial markets and system are cornerstones for democracy.

Confidence and trust in these institutions, by the people, can be developed by opening the lawmaking process to input and scrutiny.

Riski was developed as an open platform for legislators, market participants, financial technology experts, regulators, lobbyists, academics and the media to contribute to a body of knowledge about these important topics.

We recognize that various parties have points of view which may conflict and believe that exposing information to "sunlight" and public exposure will help bring common interests to the surface.

We encourage you to add or edit content on this site if you are knowledgeable.

Please include citations and/or references for all content where possible.
