US policy

The United States is home to the world’s largest capital market, with far-reaching influence on global financial systems. As the political landscape evolves, the PRI remains committed to supporting the work of signatories and advancing a sustainable financial system by actively engaging with Congress, regulators, industry associations, and stakeholders.

For nearly two decades, the PRI has worked around the world with business leaders and governments across the political spectrum to best support our signatories. We will continue to engage with administrative and elected officials, regardless of party affiliation, who work on issues relevant to our signatories and the broader work of the PRI.
