CALGARY, AB, Aug. 14, 2025 /CNW/ - The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) today published its annual Year in Review, highlighting the progress made toward delivering each of the six strategic goals outlined in its 2022-2025 Business Plan.
"The progress we made in the past year, as outlined in our Year in Review, is a testament to CSA members' collaboration to strengthen Canada's capital markets and introduce measures to boost competitiveness," said Stan Magidson, CSA Chair and Chair and CEO of the Alberta Securities Commission. "We've demonstrated that effective regulation can be both principled and adaptable to changing geopolitical and market conditions."
