In its work, the Financial Markets Committee shall seek to promote efficient, open, stable and market-oriented financial systems based on high levels of transparency, trust and integrity, supporting sustainable and inclusive economic growth by:

• Increasing the efficiency, sustainability and transparency of financial systems, as well as their basic elements such as public and corporate debt, equity and venture capital, pension and insurance markets, and others;
• Promoting the contribution of financial institutions (including banks, pension funds, insurance companies and other institutional investors) and capital markets in financing the real economy, supporting long-term growth in response to sustainability and climate transition challenges;
• Improve the functioning of the financial sector, using digitalisation and technological innovation;
• Increasing the protection of users of financial products and services and their financial literacy; increasing the possibility for individuals and firms to have access to quality financial products and services, as well as increasing their ability to manage the risks of their use.

The country's participation in the meetings of the Committee and its working bodies provides it with an opportunity to take part in the discussions, in the exchange of experience and good practices with other countries in the implementation of OECD instruments in the field of financial markets. Bulgaria has participated in the work of the Committee on Financial Markets (CFM) since 2013.

In November 2024, the mandate of the CFM was revised and integrated into it the activities of the Insurance and Private Pensions Committee (IPPC) and its working bodies.
