Markets · Central banks and regulators
Who regulates what, market by market
The institutions a partner or a regulator asks about first, for all 54 markets. Every name links to the body that runs it; where we could not source a claim, the cell is blank rather than filled in.
Of the 54 markets, 36 have a stock exchange listed here, 10 an instant-payment system and 4 a regulatory sandbox that we could source to the body running it. The blanks are gaps in what we can evidence, not in the continent.

Every entry here links to the operator or regulator it names; a claim we could not source was removed rather than left standing, so a blank means we have no source to show you, not that the thing does not exist. Reference facts: ISO 3166 and 4217, the central bank and regulator concerned, the regional communities' membership lists, and each state's own constitution for the official languages; capitals cross-checked against World Bank country metadata, with a note wherever one word would mislead.
