In the midst of the financial meltdown in 2008-2009, the G-20 established the FSB, building on its predecessor, the Financial Stability Forum, and charged it with coordinating urgent international regulatory-reform efforts to ensure greater financial stability and global consistency of rules. Even as the G-20 wrestles with the challenges of the global economic slowdown and the euro crisis, the mandate to the FSB remains central to a substantial financial-reform agenda – and to avoiding national and regional divergence in areas critical to the global financial system’s stability.
金融稳定性委员会是G20在2008—2009年金融危机期间在金融稳定性论坛（Financial Stability Forum）的基础上成立的，其目的是为了协调紧急国际监管改革措施以保证金融稳定性和全球规则的一致性。即使目前G20需要应对国际经济减速和欧元危机的挑战，金融稳定性委员会的授权仍然是实质性金融改革日程的核心，也是避免在对国际金融体系具有关键作用的领域出现国家和地区性分歧的关键。
