The plan is to implement 32 initiatives in the areas of regulation, prudential and market conduct supervision, sanctioning procedures, and institutional development. The key initiatives in the plan involve the implementation of Basel III standards, a bill to strengthen the legal framework for bank resolution, and a definitive bill for fintech regulation in securities.
The strategic plan is intended to strengthen the regulatory and supervisory capacities of CMF to safeguard the solvency of institutions, propagate adequate market conduct and protection of financial customers, and address the challenges and opportunities resulting from technological breakthroughs in the financial markets. The following are the key highlights of the plan:

The plan also includes initiatives related to the generation of an integrated supervision policy and model, implementation of a macro-prudential risk management process, and development of a supervision scheme to support the implementation of Basel III standards.
- Safeguarding Market Conduct and Protecting Financial Customers—The plan provides for the development of nine initiatives that strengthen the regulations of CMF to promote proper market conduct and protect financial customers.
- Addressing Technological Challenges and Opportunities—The plan addresses opportunities and challenges of technological development in the financial system.
