Abstract. The main result of the 2008–2009 financial and economic crisis was a perception of necessity for a change in the financial regulation paradigm itself, and for development of a new integrated approach to financial stability maintenance, including the macroprudential oversight stregthening and coordination between financial, monetary and macroeconomic regulators. One of the key experiences gained from the crisis consisted in understanding that events at a national level may have serious global consequences. The crisis demonstrated that amid the increase of interdependence between national economic and financial systems, the existing international financial institutions including the IMF were not able either to foresee problems in advance and suggest preventive decisions, or even to assure the required national measures coordination in order to avoid the range of bank collapses that shook the world economy in 2008–2009. Within this framework the need for more close and effective international cooperation in the field of financial regulation, strengthening and reforming of the functioning international financial structures became evident.
