Back to School briefing 2024

Financial Services regulators kept their foot on the accelerator this summer, with more than 30 new regulatory publications from EU, UK and international institutions. These include major pieces such as the FCA’s new listing rules, the UK’s Overseas Funds Regime, final rules on Funded Reinsurance and the EU’s delay to FRTB implementation. Keeping up with events over the summer is a full-time job, making switching off for a break even more difficult. We’re here to help bridge the gap. Our Back-to-School briefing provides a one-stop-shop for understanding the key regulatory developments that happened over the past two months.

On top of the regulatory developments, important events have occurred: the CrowdStrike outage threw a spanner into the global IT works, and major elections in the EU, UK and France moved the political landscape, raising more questions around the continuity of policy work and growth and competitiveness considerations in these jurisdictions.

Beyond the summer round-up, our Interim Regulatory Outlook provides updates on the key issues that financial services firms should look out for in the second part of the year, and shares insights for senior stakeholders to consider in making informed strategic decisions.

So, if you are ready to dive back in, read on below…
