Established in 2008, the Emerging Markets Advisory Council (EMAC) serves as a forum for enhancing the voice of emerging markets institutions, through the IIF, on the reform agenda for the global financial system. The Council comprises Chief Executive Officers/Chairmen of major financial institutions headquartered in emerging markets countries.

CAIM was created in March 2012 to bring together senior executives from various buy-side institutions to examine and discuss issues pertaining to long-term investment; challenges for asset allocation within current market dynamics; and ongoing regulatory reforms affecting institutional investors.

The Institute of International Finance’s Infrastructure Working Group (IWG) convenes public and private sector members to address the global infrastructure financing gap in both mature and emerging economies and to support the continuing development of infrastructure as an asset class. IWG members include representatives from industrial companies involved in infrastructure, other financial institutions including dedicated infrastructure funds, ratings agencies, relevant G20/B20 groups, multilateral/regional development banks, and interested government entities.

The MMG monitors emerging vulnerabilities including those related to changes in liquidity provision and the impact of new financial technologies; mispriced assets, crowded trades, and concentration risk; deterioration in business practices; and other nascent risks of concern to the industry and policymakers. The group explores ways to contain these risks and shares its concerns and views with market participants and public-sector bodies in an effort to enhance financial stability.

The IIF Sustainable Finance Working Group (SFWG) brings together key stakeholders to identify and promote capital markets solutions that support the development and growth of sustainable finance. The SFWG includes representatives from global banks, major institutional investors, credit ratings agencies, consultancies and other interested parties, as well as public sector collaborators such as the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), World Bank/IFC and many more.
