Objectives
The topic of fragmentation in financial markets has been receiving more attention from both market participants and policy makers with the increasing reality of fragmentation linked to geo-economics and global tensions and in a context of global challenges ranging from climate change to the rise of disruptive technologies.
The objective of this session is to assess in which areas financial regulatory fragmentation is increasing at the global level – including between the EU and the UK –, the reasons of such divergences and their consequences for global financial institutions. Then, speakers will be invited to express their views on how to address the existing consistency regulatory issues.
Points of discussion
- Is financial regulatory fragmentation increasing at the global level and, if so, in which areas (market regulations, sustainable finance, critical third parties risk management regulation in the financial sector, crypto assets, Basel 3 implementation, investment funds and insurance regulations…)? What are the reasons of such divergences (willingness to diverge, time lag…) and their consequences for global financial institutions?
- How can the main existing consistency regulatory issues be solved? What are the main priorities and next steps to solve the existing issues?
