In his latest blog, Governor Gabriel Makhlouf argues that economists must adapt their analytical frameworks and expand their focus beyond traditional topics to address emerging challenges—such as geopolitical upheaval and defence spending—in order to provide robust evidence-based policy advice that serves the public interest.

Good and poor practice
The FCA's guidance outlines good and poor practices in communicating costs for international money remittance and cross-border payments involving currency conversion, emphasizing transparency under the Consumer Duty to enable informed consumer decisions. It matters because non-compliance risks supervisory action, as the FCA plans future reviews to assess improvements, raising the bar on pricing clarity amid ongoing Duty enforcement. #
Consultation papers
FCA PS25/19 finalizes rules to streamline complaints reporting by replacing multiple existing returns with a single consolidated return, enhancing data quality, consistency, and vulnerability identification while reducing burdens. This matters for compliance teams as it mandates system and process updates to improve regulatory oversight and consumer protection, with implementation required within 12 months. #
Consultation papers
CP25/15 proposes prudential rules and guidance for UK firms issuing **qualifying stablecoins** and safeguarding **qualifying cryptoassets**, aiming to foster a safe, competitive crypto sector while prioritizing consumer protection and market integrity. This matters for compliance professionals as it introduces tailored prudential sourcebooks (COREPRU and CRYPTOPRU) to mitigate firm failure risks, aligning with the FCA's crypto roadmap and Treasury's statutory plans. #
Policy and guidance
The FCA's updated Statement of Policy outlines its approach to statutory investigations into possible regulatory failures under Part 5 of the Financial Services Act 2012, including criteria for triggering investigations and producing reports for HM Treasury. It matters because it clarifies when the FCA must self-scrutinize serious lapses in regulation, helping firms anticipate rare but high-profile probes into systemic issues affecting consumer protection, market integrity, or competition. The primary update adjusts inflation-linked monetary thresholds for assessing "significant" consumer detriment, ensuring the policy remains relevant. #
Policy statements
The FCA's PS25/23 finalizes guidance on tackling **non-financial misconduct (NFM)** in financial services, amending the COCON sourcebook to clarify how serious NFM breaches conduct rules and integrating it into FIT assessments for fitness and propriety. This matters because it aligns rules across banks and non-banks, enhances accountability, deters harmful workplace cultures, and supports FCA objectives like consumer protection and market integrity by ensuring consistent handling of issues like bullying or harassment. #
Consultation papers
The FCA and PRA are consulting on setting the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) Management Expenses Levy Limit (MELL) at £113 million for 2026/27, comprising a £108 million management expenses budget (up £4.4 million from 2025/26, broadly in line with inflation) and a £5 million unlevied reserve. This matters because it caps the operating costs (e.g., IT, staff, legal, claims handling) that FCA- and PRA-authorised firms must fund via levies, excluding separate compensation payments, ensuring FSCS efficiency while controlling firm burdens. #

We have issued a joint statement with the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) giving clarity on open banking pricing models. We and the PSR have issued the following statement (PDF).This confirms we will not, at this stage, prioritise a Competition Act 1998 (CA98) investigation into the centralised ‘access fee’ pricing model being developed by the UK Payments Initiative (UKPI) for commercial Variable Recurring Payments (cVRPs). cVRPs are an emerging open banking technology that allow consumers to...
The FCA and PSR have jointly confirmed they will not prioritize a Competition Act 1998 investigation into the UK Payments Initiative's (UKPI) centralized access fee pricing model for commercial Variable Recurring Payments (cVRPs), with the CMA's concurrent agreement. This regulatory clarity provides temporary certainty for cVRP development ahead of anticipated legislation by end-2026, creating a critical window for firms to develop compliant commercial models in this emerging open banking technology.
The FCA and PSR have issued a joint statement providing clarity on open banking pricing models, specifically regarding the centralised 'access fee' pricing model for commercial Variable Recurring Payments (cVRPs). This statement confirms that they will not prioritize a Competition Act 1998 investigation into this model at this stage. The goal is to support the development of cVRPs, giving consumers more control over their payments and lowering processing fees for businesses.
Application of the Guidelines of the European Banking Authority on the management of environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks (EBA/GL/2025/01)
Circular CSSF 26/905 mandates the application of EBA Guidelines (EBA/GL/2025/01) on managing **ESG risks** for Luxembourg-supervised institutions, requiring integration of environmental, social, and governance risk identification, measurement, management, and monitoring into internal processes. This aligns with CRD amendments (Articles 74, 76, 87a) and emphasizes proportionality to institutions' business models, with plans including timelines, targets, and milestones toward EU climate goals like net-zero by 2050. It matters for compliance as it embeds ESG into prudential supervision, potentially impacting capital, risk frameworks, and supervisory reviews. #
Supervision Compliance Journalists Investment services providers The AMF publishes the findings of its inspections on the role and involvement of the compliance function at investment services providers
Policy statement 1/26
PS1/26 represents the UK Prudential Regulation Authority's final implementation framework for the Basel 3.1 international banking standards, effective 1 January 2027 (with market risk internal models delayed to 1 January 2028). This policy statement establishes mandatory capital, credit risk, operational risk, and market risk requirements for UK-regulated banks, building societies, and investment firms, addressing post-financial crisis shortcomings in risk-weighted asset (RWA) calculations and capital adequacy frameworks.
The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) has published the final rules for the implementation of Basel 3.1 standards in the UK, with an effective date of January 1, 2027. The rules aim to enhance the resilience of banks and improve the stability of the financial system. Firms must review and update their policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the new requirements.
Policy Statement 2/26
The PRA's PS2/26 finalizes the retirement of the "refined methodology" in Pillar 2A capital requirements, effective 1 January 2027, aligning with Basel 3.1 implementation to simplify the framework by eliminating an operationally burdensome adjustment originally designed to address conservatism in the standardized approach (SA) to credit risk. This matters for compliance professionals as it reduces complexity in ICAAP and SREP processes, with expected neutral aggregate capital impact, though firm-specific effects may vary and require supervisory engagement. #
The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) has finalized the policy to retire the refined methodology to Pillar 2A, which will take effect on January 1, 2027, aligning with the implementation of the Basel 3.1 standards. This change affects all PRA-regulated banks, building societies, and designated investment firms. The refined methodology will no longer apply to these firms, including Small Domestic Deposit Takers (SDDTs), as they will be subject to the Basel 3.1 standardized approach to credit risk.
Policy statement 3/26
PS3/26 is the PRA's final policy statement restating the remaining provisions of the UK Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) into the PRA Rulebook and related policy materials, effective 1 January 2027. This represents a critical step in the UK's transition away from assimilated EU law, consolidating fragmented regulatory requirements into a unified domestic framework while introducing targeted amendments to securitisation rules and External Credit Assessment Institution (ECAI) mapping.
The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) has published a policy statement (PS3/26) that restates the remaining relevant provisions in the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) within the PRA Rulebook and other policy materials. This change aims to ensure that the PRA's rules and policies are consistent with the UK's withdrawal from the EU. The policy statement is relevant to PRA-authorised banks, building societies, and other financial institutions.
Policy statement 4/26
PS4/26 finalizes the **simplified capital regime for Small Domestic Deposit Takers (SDDTs)**, a tailored prudential framework designed to reduce regulatory burden while maintaining capital resilience for smaller, domestically-focused UK banks and building societies. This represents the completion of Phase 1 of the PRA's "Strong and Simple" initiative and introduces materially lighter capital, liquidity, and reporting requirements for qualifying firms, with implementation effective January 1, 2027.
The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) has introduced a simplified capital regime for Small Domestic Deposit Takers (SDDTs) to reduce regulatory complexity while maintaining adequate capital. The new regime will take effect on 2027-01-01. This change aims to simplify capital requirements for smaller banks and building societies.

This speech by Gerry Cross, Director of Capital Markets and Funds at the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI), outlines key supervisory priorities including securing customers' interests via the revised Consumer Protection Code, Individual Accountability Framework (IAF) implementation, regulatory simplification, resilience, technology leverage, and an evolving outcomes-focused supervision approach. It matters because it signals CBI's expectations for compliance professionals to drive these outcomes in firms, emphasizing proportionality and ongoing engagement amid regulatory evolution. Compliance teams must integrate these themes to align with CBI's shift toward less process-driven, more effective oversight. #

This update is critical for Swiss financial institutions and regulated entities as it directly impacts sanctions compliance obligations and requires immediate verification of client and counterparty lists against the revised designations.
Das Eidgenössische Departement für Wirtschaft, Bildung und Forschung WBF hat Änderungen der Verordnung vom 4. März 2022 über Massnahmen im Zusammenhang mit der Situation in der Ukraine (SR 946.231.176.72) publiziert.
The Swiss Federal Department for Economic Affairs, Education and Research (WBF) has published updates to the Ordinance on Measures in Connection with the Situation in Ukraine (SR 946.231.176.72), aligning Swiss sanctions with ongoing international restrictions targeting Russia. This matters for Swiss financial institutions as it reinforces asset freezing and economic resource restrictions, heightening compliance risks amid prolonged geopolitical tensions, with the ordinance valid until at least November 2026. #

This CSSF publication, dated January 12, 2026, identifies the specific population (likely a firm or individual) subject to an enforcement action, such as an administrative sanction, as part of the CSSF's transparency in supervisory measures. It matters because it signals CSSF's active enforcement priorities, potentially in areas like AML or reporting failures, enabling firms to assess similar risks in their operations and strengthen compliance to avoid parallel actions. Published amid rising focus on financial crime typologies like sexual extortion, it underscores the regulator's commitment to public accountability. #

ESAs publish joint Guidelines on ESG stress testing 08 January 2026 Guidelines and Technical standards Joint Committee The European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA - the ESAs) published today their Joint Guidelines on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) stress testing . These Guidelines provide national insurance and banking supervisors with clear guidance on how to integrate ESG risks into supervisory stress tests, both when using established frameworks and when conducti...
The European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs)—EBA, EIOPA, and ESMA—published final Joint Guidelines on 8 January 2026 to standardize how national competent authorities (NCAs) integrate ESG risks into supervisory stress testing frameworks for banking and insurance sectors, without mandating new ESG-specific tests. These guidelines promote consistency, long-term methodologies, and common standards across the EU, initially prioritizing climate and environmental risks (physical and transition) before expanding to social and governance factors. They matter for compliance professionals as they shape future supervisory expectations, enhancing resilience assessments and aligning with CRD (Article 100(4)) and Solvency II (Article 304c(3)) mandates, potentially influencing firm-level stress testing preparations. #

Statistical Notices update the definitions and guidance contained in the Banking Statistics Yellow Folder
This Statistical Notice 2026/01 from the Bank of England specifies the submission deadline for the Eligible Liabilities Return form, which calculates firms' contributions to the Bank of England Levy for the 2026/27 levy year.

The Swiss Federal Council adopted a new ordinance (RS 196.127.85) on 5 January 2026, mandating the immediate freezing of all assets in Switzerland belonging to Nicolás Maduro and 36 associated persons, under the Federal Act on the Freezing and Restitution of Illicit Assets held by Foreign Politically Exposed Persons (FIAA). This precautionary measure prevents asset outflows amid Venezuela's political upheaval, complementing existing sanctions since 2018, and enables future mutual legal assistance for potential restitution to the Venezuelan people. It matters for Swiss financial institutions as it imposes immediate reporting and freezing obligations with severe penalties for non-compliance. #

Survey on the amount of covered deposits held on 31 December 2025
Circular CSSF-CPDI 25/49 is a **mandatory quarterly reporting requirement** for Luxembourg credit institutions and postal financial service providers to submit data on covered deposits as of December 31, 2025. This survey directly feeds into the Single Resolution Fund's annual target level calculation and the Luxembourg deposit guarantee scheme's contribution assessments, making it essential for regulatory compliance and fund management.
The Bank's Court of Directors acts as a unitary board, setting the organisation's strategy and budget and taking key decisions on resourcing and appointments. Required to meet a minimum seven times per year, it has five executive members from the Bank and up to nine non-executive members.
Update of Circular CSSF 24/850 on the practical rules concerning the descriptive report and the self-assessment questionnaire to be submitted on an annual basis by support PFS, as well as the engagement of the réviseurs d’entreprises agréés (approved statutory auditors) of support PFS and practical rules concerning the management letter and the separate report to be drawn up on an annual basis.
Circular CSSF 25/903 updates Circular CSSF 24/850, refining practical rules for support Professional of the Financial Sector (support PFS) in Luxembourg regarding their annual descriptive report, self-assessment questionnaire, and the roles of approved statutory auditors (réviseurs d’entreprises agréés). It specifies requirements for auditors' engagement, management letters, and separate annual reports. This matters for support PFS as it enhances supervisory oversight, ensures consistent reporting quality, and strengthens internal controls, directly impacting compliance and audit processes amid CSSF's focus on robust PFS supervision. #
The German Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) warns against WhatsApp groups such as „S373 Robeco Kernmitgliedergruppe“, “M2 Robeco Value Investing Kreis“ and „999 Robeco Investment Strategiezentrum - Blockhandel“, which are allegedly operated by the Frankfurt a.M.-based company Robeco Deutschland, Zweigniederlassung der Robeco Institutional Asset Management B.V.

Repeal of Circular CSSF 19/731 regarding the documents to be submitted on an annual basis by credit institutions.
Circular CSSF 25/902 repeals Circular CSSF 19/731 (as amended by Circular CSSF 19/710), which previously detailed annual document submission requirements for credit institutions, shifting to a dynamic list published on the CSSF website. This matters because it streamlines compliance by centralizing and updating requirements online, reducing reliance on static circulars while maintaining submission obligations. Credit institutions must transition to the new process to avoid disruptions in prudential reporting. #
Practical rules concerning the descriptive report and the self-assessment questionnaire to be submitted on an annual basis by support PFS.Engagement of the réviseurs d’entreprises agréés (approved statutory auditors) of support PFS and practical rules concerning the management letter and the separate report to be drawn up on an annual basis.
Circular CSSF 24/850, as amended by Circular CSSF 25/903, establishes practical rules for support Professional of the Financial Sector (support PFS) in Luxembourg to submit annual descriptive reports and self-assessment questionnaires, while also defining the roles of approved statutory auditors (réviseurs d’entreprises agréés) in issuing management letters and separate reports. This guidance standardizes supervisory reporting and audit processes to enhance oversight of support PFS, which provide essential back-office services to authorized PFS. It matters because non-compliance risks supervisory sanctions, reputational damage, and operational disruptions for entities reliant on support PFS structures. #

Sanctions & settlements professional obligations Journalists Investment management companies Listed companies and issuers AMF Enforcement Committee fines the depositary CACEIS Bank for breaches of its professional obligations
The AMF Enforcement Committee fined CACEIS Bank €3.5 million and issued a warning on 17 December 2025 for breaches of its professional obligations as depositary for seven French-law UCITS funds managed by H2O AM LLP (later transferred to H2O AM Europe). This decision underscores the AMF's strict enforcement of depositary oversight duties, particularly in verifying fund managers' investment monitoring systems, asset valuations, and compliance with prospectus constraints like issuer limits and security ratings. It matters for compliance teams as it highlights personal accountability risks and potential fines for inadequate due diligence in fund depositary roles, signaling heightened scrutiny amid past H2O fund issues. #

BaFin imposed €560,000 in administrative fines on flatexDEGIRO Bank AG on December 16, 2025, for misleading marketing of investment services that advertised free offerings without clearly disclosing mandatory processing fees. This enforcement action underscores BaFin's strict interpretation of fair and transparent marketing requirements under the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) and demonstrates that even corrective action taken by firms does not eliminate regulatory penalties for past violations.

This matters for compliance professionals as it shifts from broad regulation of all benchmarks to targeted oversight, requiring firms to reassess benchmark usage, prepare for transition, and adapt to FCA rules on risk management, enhancing UK competitiveness post-FSMA 2023 repeal of assimilated laws. #

Failure to act risks enforcement by FINMA under its supervisory mandate. #
Good evening. Thank you for the invitation to join you today. This evening I want to talk about economic resilience, what it is and whether we have enough of it. I spoke about economic resilience in my first speech as Governor – 6 years ago – and wrote to the Minister for Finance about it in early February this year. After everything that’s happened since February, it feels timely to take stock of where we are. My conclusion is that we need to give it greater focus. Let me start by setting ou...

Policy statement 26/25
The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) has issued PS26/25, finalizing the withdrawal of Supervisory Statement (SS) 20/15, which previously set prescriptive expectations for building societies' treasury and lending activities, effective immediately upon publication on 5 December 2025. This deregulatory move reduces administrative burdens, enhances proportionality across deposit takers, and promotes competition by aligning building societies more closely with banks, while relying on existing tools like the PRA Rulebook, SMCR, and routine supervision for risk management. It matters for compliance teams as it eliminates specific guidance often misinterpreted as binding requirements, freeing firms to tailor risk frameworks but requiring vigilance on broader prudential expectations. #
This report has been informed by the PRA and FCA’s ongoing regulation and supervision of mutuals and by direct engagement with mutuals and their trade associations in sessions around the country throughout 2025.

Policy statement 25/25
PS25/25 is the PRA's policy statement providing feedback on CP10/25 and issuing updated Supervisory Statement SS5/25, which replaces SS3/19 to enhance banks' and insurers' management of climate-related financial risks through strengthened governance, risk management, scenario analysis, data quality, and disclosures. It matters because it sets a higher regulatory bar for embedding climate risks proportionately into core processes like ICAAP, ILAAP, ORSA, and financial reporting, promoting resilience and strategic decision-making amid evolving climate threats. #
Supervisory statement 5/25
SS5/25 is the PRA's updated supervisory statement, published on 3 December 2025, replacing SS3/19 and setting enhanced expectations for banks and insurers to manage climate-related risks through governance, risk management, scenario analysis, data quality, and disclosures. It matters because it represents a step change from awareness-raising to embedding robust, proportionate practices that integrate climate risks into core prudential processes like ICAAP, ILAAP, ORSA, and capital planning, aligning with the PRA's objectives for firm safety and soundness amid evolving physical and transition risks. #

PS23/25 from the PRA and FCA finalizes amendments to Binding Technical Standards (BTS) 2016/2251 under UK EMIR, introducing an indefinite exemption for single-stock equity options and index options from bilateral margin requirements, removing IM obligations on legacy contracts for firms falling below thresholds, and allowing alignment with third-country jurisdictions' timelines for IM assessments. These changes reduce operational burdens and enhance competitiveness for UK firms trading non-centrally cleared derivatives, following feedback from CP5/25, while maintaining prudential standards. #

The PRA held roundtable meetings on artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI and ML) in the context of Supervisory Statement (SS)1/23 ‘Model risk management principles for banks’
The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) held roundtable sessions on 20 and 22 October 2025 with 21 regulated firms to discuss AI and machine learning (AI/ML) adoption under Supervisory Statement SS1/23 on model risk management (MRM) principles for banks. This matters because it highlights PRA's strategic supervisory focus on AI/ML model risks, urging firms to enhance governance, risk appetite, monitoring, and validation to mitigate opacity, overfitting, and rapid performance degradation in these models. https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/prudential-regulation/publication/2025/november/pra-holds-model-risk-management-roundtable-on-ai | https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/-/media/boe/files/prudential-regulation/publication/2025/november/ai-roundtable-oct-2025.pdf #

Policy statement 24/25
The PRA's PS24/25 finalizes rules increasing Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) depositor protection limits from £85,000 to £120,000 and temporary high balances (THB) from £1 million to £1.4 million for firm failures on or after 1 December 2025, responding to consultation feedback in CP4/25. This matters for PRA-authorized deposit-takers as it enhances consumer protection amid inflation but requires urgent system and disclosure updates to avoid FSCS payout delays or regulatory breaches. Firms must prioritize single customer view (SCV) readiness and phased disclosure revisions to comply efficiently. #

Fonds de garantie des dépôts Luxembourg (FGDL) – Method for calculating the ex-ante contributions pursuant to Article 182 of the Law of 18 December 2015 on the failure of credit institutions and of certain investment firms
Circular CSSF-CPDI 25/48, published on 13 November 2025, updates the methodology for calculating ex-ante contributions to the Fonds de garantie des dépôts Luxembourg (FGDL), Luxembourg's deposit guarantee scheme, by aligning risk adjustments with EBA Guidelines and introducing a zero floor for certain calculation components. This matters for Luxembourg credit institutions as it refines risk-sensitive contributions to meet DGSD target levels for two compartments (0.8% and an additional 0.8% of covered deposits), ensuring financial stability while promoting supervisory convergence across the EU. #
The Bank of England, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and the Bank of Thailand announced a collaboration to explore the technical and policy implications of settling foreign exchange (FX) transactions using synchronised settlement mechanisms.
Fonds de garantie des dépôts Luxembourg (FGDL) – Method for calculating the ex-ante contributions pursuant to Article 182 of the Law of 18 December 2015 on the failure of credit institutions and of certain investment firms
Circular CSSF-CPDI 25/48 updates the methodology for calculating ex-ante annual contributions to the Fonds de garantie des dépôts Luxembourg (FGDL), Luxembourg's deposit guarantee scheme, specifically for the target levels in Articles 179 and 180 of the Law of 18 December 2015 on the failure of credit institutions and certain investment firms. This matters because it introduces a risk-adjusted contribution model aligned with EBA Guidelines, shifting from purely deposit-based calculations to ones incorporating institution-specific risk factors, potentially increasing contributions for higher-risk banks while promoting stability in the scheme's funding. #

The PRA's PS22/25 finalizes an increase in the retail deposits threshold for the leverage ratio requirement from £50 billion to £75 billion, introducing a three-year averaging mechanism for calculations, effective 1 January 2026. This adjustment reflects nominal UK GDP growth since 2016 to maintain the Financial Policy Committee's original risk appetite while smoothing cliff-edge effects for firms like building societies. It matters for major UK banks and similar firms as it alters capital planning and leverage ratio applicability, potentially reducing immediate compliance burdens for those nearing the old threshold. #

The Bank of England (the Bank) has today published a consultation paper (CP) setting out its proposed regulatory regime for sterling-denominated systemic stablecoins.
The Bank of England has published a consultation paper (issued November 10, 2025) proposing a comprehensive regulatory regime for **sterling-denominated systemic stablecoins**, establishing requirements for backing assets, capital, redemption procedures, and operational safeguards. This represents a pivotal step toward implementing the UK's stablecoin framework, with the regime designed to maintain financial stability while enabling viable business models for systemic stablecoin issuers.

Update of Circular CSSF 22/821 on the Long Form Report, as amended by Circulars CSSF 23/845 and CSSF 24/865
Circular CSSF 25/897 updates Circular CSSF 22/821 on the Long Form Report (LFR) for credit institutions, further aligning the self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ) with current supervisory priorities such as ML/FT risks and organizational aspects. This matters because it refines reporting to reduce redundancies, enhance transparency in REA assessments, and reflect evolving prudential focuses since prior amendments via Circulars CSSF 23/845 and 24/865, ensuring institutions' reports better support CSSF oversight. #
Long Form ReportPractical rules concerning the self-assessment questionnaire to be submitted by institutionsMission and related reports of the statutory auditors (réviseurs d’entreprises agréés)
**Circular CSSF 22/821** (as amended) fundamentally restructures how Luxembourg credit institutions report to the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) by replacing the traditional Long Form Report with a digital **self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ)**, complemented by auditor-prepared reports. This shift represents a significant operational change that requires institutions to directly participate in prudential self-assessment while maintaining robust external audit oversight, making it essential for compliance and operational teams to understand new submission requirements and digital workflows.
Provisions relating to credit institutions and investment firms of EU origin established in Luxembourg by way of branches or exercising activities in Luxembourg by way of free provision of services
Circular CSSF 07/325, as amended by Circulars CSSF 21/765, CSSF 22/827, and most recently CSSF 25/898, establishes supervisory requirements for EU credit institutions and investment firms operating in Luxembourg via branches or free provision of services (FOPS). It matters for compliance professionals as it defines CSSF's host authority role, notification obligations, reporting, and enforcement powers, ensuring alignment with CRD and MiFID II while adapting to evolving EU rules. #
Update of Circular CSSF 07/325 on Provisions relating to credit institutions and investment firms of EU origin established in Luxembourg by way of branches or exercising activities in Luxembourg by way of free provision of services, as amended by Circulars CSSF 21/765 and CSSF 22/827
Circular CSSF 25/898 updates Luxembourg's supervisory framework for EU-origin credit institutions and investment firms operating in Luxembourg through branches or free provision of services. This amendment enhances the self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ) used by the CSSF to align supervisory oversight with current regulatory priorities, particularly adding UCI administration as a new thematic module. The update reflects the CSSF's evolving supervisory focus and requires affected institutions to demonstrate compliance with expanded assessment criteria.

Die Schweiz schliesst sich den weiteren Massnahmen des 18. Sanktionspakets der Europäischen Union (EU) gegenüber Russland sowie den zusätzlich zum 18. Sanktionspaket erlassenen Massnahmen gegenüber Belarus an. Dies hat der Bundesrat am 29. Oktober 2025 beschlossen. Im Fokus stehen Massnahmen im Güter-, Finanz und Energiebereich. Der Bundesrat hat dafür die Verordnung über Massnahmen gegenüber Belarus (SR 946.231.116.9) geändert.
Switzerland has aligned with additional EU measures from the 18th sanctions package against Russia and specific Belarus measures, amending the Ordinance on Measures against Belarus (SR 946.231.116.9) to focus on goods, financial, and energy sectors. This strengthens the sanctions regime against Belarus to mirror Russia's more closely, aiming to enhance effectiveness and prevent circumvention. Compliance teams must prioritize asset freezes, transaction prohibitions, and reporting to avoid enforcement risks from FINMA and SECO. #

On October 29, 2025, the Swiss Federal Council (Bundesrat) adopted comprehensive sanctions measures aligned with the EU's 18th sanctions package against Russia and additional measures against Belarus, effective October 30, 2025. This enforcement action significantly expands financial transaction prohibitions, export restrictions, and asset freezes, requiring Swiss financial intermediaries to immediately implement new compliance obligations across banking, goods trade, and energy sectors.
The Financial Policy Committee (FPC) welcomes today the Prudential Regulation Authority’s (PRA’s) policy statement 20/25 – The Strong and Simple Framework: The simplified capital regime for Small Domestic Deposit Takers (SDDTs) – near-final.
The Financial Policy Committee (FPC) welcomes the Prudential Regulation Authority's (PRA) Policy Statement (PS) 20/25, which finalizes the second phase of the "Strong and Simple Framework" by introducing a simplified capital regime for Small Domestic Deposit Takers (SDDTs), alongside liquidity simplifications. This matters because it reduces regulatory burdens, enhances competition among smaller UK banks and building societies, and maintains resilience without full Basel 3.1 standards, with implementation on 1 January 2027. #
Policy statement 19/25
**PS19/25** is the PRA's near-final policy statement finalizing how remaining Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR) provisions will be restated into the PRA Rulebook, effective January 1, 2027. This represents a critical step in the UK's transition away from assimilated EU law, giving the PRA expanded rule-making authority over UK banks, building societies, and investment firms while introducing targeted policy changes to securitisation, credit risk treatment, and ECAI mapping.
Policy statement 18/25
PS18/25, published by the PRA on 28 October 2025, retires the "refined methodology" for Pillar 2A capital calculations, replacing it with reliance on the Basel 3.1 Credit Risk Standardised Approach (CR SA) for greater risk sensitivity, transparency, and proportionality. This near-final policy simplifies the Pillar 2A framework, reduces administrative burdens, and aligns with broader Basel 3.1 implementation and the Strong and Simple regime for Small Domestic Deposit Takers (SDDTs), promoting safety, soundness, and competition. It matters because it directly impacts credit risk capital add-ons for affected firms, requiring updates to ICAAP/SREP processes ahead of Basel 3.1 timelines. #
Statement of Policy 5/15
Supervisory statement 31/15
SS31/15 is the PRA's foundational supervisory statement establishing expectations for how UK-regulated banks and large investment firms must conduct their Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) and how the PRA will evaluate these assessments through its Supervisory Review and Evaluation Process (SREP). This guidance is critical because it directly determines the capital requirements firms must maintain and establishes the supervisory framework through which the PRA assesses whether firms hold sufficient capital to cover material risks.
Policy Statement 20/25
**PS20/25** represents the second and final phase of the PRA's "Strong and Simple Framework," establishing a significantly simplified capital regime for Small Domestic Deposit Takers (SDDTs) while maintaining their resilience. This near-final policy statement, published on 28 October 2025, fundamentally restructures capital requirements, liquidity rules, and operational frameworks for SDDTs—a critical development for smaller deposit-taking institutions seeking regulatory relief from disproportionate compliance burdens.

The Swiss Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research (WBF, under which SECO operates) has published an update to the Annex of the Ordinance of 16 December 2022 on measures concerning Haiti, reflecting UN Security Council amendments to the sanctions list. This matters for Swiss financial institutions as it triggers immediate asset freeze checks and reporting obligations to ensure compliance with Switzerland's implementation of UN sanctions via FINMA and SECO oversight, avoiding enforcement risks amid Haiti's ongoing instability. The update aligns with global renewals of Haiti sanctions, emphasizing asset freezes on newly designated individuals and entities involved in destabilizing activities. #

The Swiss Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research (WBF/EAER) amended the annex of the Ordinance on Measures against Nicaragua (SR 946.231.158.5) on 20 October 2025, modifying entries for two individuals, with measures entering into force immediately thereafter. This update requires Swiss financial intermediaries to promptly screen and adjust sanctions compliance programs to reflect the revised designations, ensuring no prohibited dealings with the updated list. It matters because failure to implement could trigger FINMA enforcement, asset blocking obligations, and reporting requirements under Switzerland's Embargo Act (EmbG). #

This FINMA publication notifies Swiss financial intermediaries of updates to the Swiss sanctions list against the Islamic Republic of Iran, as amended by the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research (WBF) on October 20, 2025, via the SESAM sanctions database.

Failure to act risks enforcement by FINMA or SECO. #

The PRA's LIAC02/25 consultation, published on 16 October 2025, proposes low-impact amendments to its Rulebook and policy materials, including technical fixes, conditional disapplications, and miscellaneous corrections to enhance accuracy and align with prior policies. These changes matter for PRA-regulated firms as they ensure regulatory consistency with minimal operational burden, with most taking effect in late 2025 or early 2026 following the consultation period. #

These changes matter as they reduce regulatory burden, increase flexibility in bonus structures (e.g., marginal deferral rates and cash payments), and promote competitiveness while maintaining risk alignment, potentially reversing trends toward higher fixed pay. #

This matters for compliance professionals as it signals upcoming proportionate ESRS revisions that could ease reporting burdens for large listed companies starting voluntarily in 2026, enhancing investor usability without diluting key sustainability insights. #

This matters for Swiss financial institutions as it imposes immediate asset freeze and transaction restrictions, aligning with FINMA's heightened focus on sanctions risks amid geopolitical tensions. #

This change, effective October 8, 2025, requires Swiss financial intermediaries to immediately screen clients, freeze assets of listed individuals, and report to SECO, reinforcing compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 2048 (2012) and EU measures following the 2012 military coup. It matters for preventing sanctions evasion and ensuring adherence to Switzerland's Embargogesetz (EmbG), with non-compliance risking FINMA enforcement. #
Das Eidgenössische Departement für Wirtschaft, Bildung und Forschung WBF hat eine Änderung des Anhangs 7 der Verordnung vom 8. Juni 2012 über Massnahmen gegenüber Syrien (SR 946.231.172.7) publiziert.
The Swiss Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research (WBF) updated Annex 7 of the Ordinance on Measures against Syria (SR 946.231.172.7) on October 6, 2025, modifying the list of sanctioned persons, companies, and organizations, effective October 8, 2025. This change requires Swiss financial intermediaries to immediately implement asset freezes and report affected relationships to SECO, amid broader Swiss alignment with EU and US easing of Syria sanctions earlier in 2025. It matters for compliance as it mandates swift screening updates to avoid violations of ongoing targeted financial sanctions. #

It matters because it highlights persistent supervisory concerns around timely credit risk recognition, model limitations, recovery assumptions, and climate impacts amid economic uncertainty, urging firms to strengthen ECL processes to ensure safety and soundness. #

Single Resolution Fund – Information request by the Single Resolution Board for the calculation of the 2026 contribution according to Articles 4 and 14 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/63
Circular CSSF-CODERES 25/21, issued by the CSSF on 29 September 2025, mandates Luxembourg credit institutions to submit specific data via XBRL-formatted Data Reporting Forms (DRFs) to enable the Single Resolution Board (SRB) to calculate 2026 ex-ante contributions to the Single Resolution Fund (SRF) under Articles 4 and 14 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/63.

Das Staatssekretariat für Wirtschaft (SECO) hat eine Änderung der Verordnung vom 21. März 2025 über Massnahmen gegenüber Personen und Organisationen, die mit den Organisationen ISIL (Da'esh) und Al-Kaida in Verbindung stehen (SR 946.231.08) publiziert.
Das Eidgenössische Departement für Wirtschaft, Bildung und Forschung WBF hat eine Änderung des Anhangs 7 der Verordnung vom 11. November 2015 über Massnahmen gegenüber der Islamischen Republik Iran (SR 946.231.143.6) publiziert.
On August 18, 2025, the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (WBF) published an updated sanctions notification regarding Iran, specifically modifying Annex 7 of the Ordinance on Measures against the Islamic Republic of Iran (SR 946.231.143.6). This update is critical for Swiss financial institutions and businesses because it reflects the evolving sanctions landscape following the automatic reinstatement of UN Security Council resolutions on Iran's nuclear program in September 2025.
Das Staatssekretariat für Wirtschaft (SECO) hat eine Änderung der Liste der sanktionierten natürlichen Personen, Unternehmen und Organisationen der Verordnung vom 30. März 2011 über Massnahmen gegenüber Libyen (SR 946.231.149.82) publiziert.
This FINMA publication announces an update by Switzerland's State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) to the sanctions list under the Ordinance of 30 March 2011 on Measures against Libya (SR 946.231.149.82), aligning Swiss sanctions with changes in the UN Libya sanctions regime. It matters for Swiss financial institutions as it triggers immediate screening and compliance obligations to avoid violations of asset freeze and related restrictions on designated persons, entities, or organizations. Failure to act promptly risks enforcement by FINMA. #
Das Staatssekretariat für Wirtschaft (SECO) hat eine Änderung des Anhangs 2 der Verordnung vom 12. August 2015 über Massnahmen gegenüber der Republik Südsudan (SR 946.231.169.9) publiziert.
FINMA has published an update notifying financial intermediaries of changes to Annex 2 of the Ordinance on Measures against the Republic of South Sudan (SR 946.231.169.9), as announced by SECO on August 18, 2025, effective August 20, 2025. This matters because it imposes immediate asset freeze and transaction ban obligations on Swiss financial institutions with exposure to newly or modified sanctioned entities, aligning with UN Security Council Resolution 2206 (2015) and EU measures to address South Sudan's ethnic conflict, human rights violations, and humanitarian crisis. Compliance failure risks enforcement actions under the Embargo Act (EmbG) and AML regulations (GwG). #
Das Eidgenössische Departement für Wirtschaft, Bildung und Forschung (WBF) hat den Anhang 2 der Verordnung vom 25. Mai 2005 über Massnahmen gegenüber Sudan (SR 946.231.18) geändert.
The Swiss Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research (WBF) has amended Annex 2 of the Ordinance of May 25, 2005, on Measures against Sudan (SR 946.231.18), updating Switzerland's sanctions list in alignment with the SESAM database managed by SECO. This change, effective immediately on a urgent basis, requires Swiss financial intermediaries to implement updated asset freezes and transaction restrictions without delay, heightening compliance risks amid ongoing international sanctions escalation on Sudan-related actors. It matters because non-compliance exposes firms to FINMA enforcement, reputational damage, and penalties under anti-money laundering and sanctions regimes. #

The Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) published an updated sanctions notification on August 13, 2025, reflecting modifications to the UN sanctions list targeting Iraq under the Ordinance of August 7, 1990 (SR 946.206). This update is automatically applicable in Switzerland and requires immediate compliance by all financial institutions and regulated entities, as Switzerland implements UN Security Council sanctions lists without delay through its automatic application framework.
Das Eidgenössische Departement für Wirtschaft, Bildung und Forschung WBF hat eine Änderung der Anhänge 5, 13, 14 und 15 der Verordnung über Massnahmen gegenüber Belarus (SR 946.231.116.9) publiziert.
The Swiss Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research (WBF) published updates to Annexes 5, 13, 14, and 15 of the Ordinance on Measures against Belarus (SR 946.231.116.9), aligning Switzerland with additional EU sanctions imposed on July 18, 2025, in response to Belarus's involvement in Russia's war against Ukraine. This matters for Swiss financial institutions as it expands asset freezes, reporting obligations, and prohibitions, strengthening sanctions parity with Russia to prevent circumvention and enhance enforcement effectiveness. #

This matters for Swiss financial intermediaries as it imposes immediate asset freeze and reporting obligations under the Embargo Act (EmbG) and Anti-Money Laundering Act (GwG), aligning Switzerland with EU measures to counter threats to Moldova's sovereignty amid regional instability. #
Das Departement für Wirtschaft, Bildung und Forschung (WBF) hat die Erweiterung der Sanktionslisten betreffend Russland publiziert. Die Schweiz hat damit diverse Änderungen übernommen, welche die EU im Rahmen ihres 18. Sanktionspakets beschlossen hatte.
This FINMA publication announces Switzerland's adoption of the EU's 18th sanctions package against Russia, expanding the sanctions lists with new designations and restrictions via the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO/WBF). It matters because Swiss financial institutions must immediately screen and freeze assets of newly listed parties, aligning with heightened FINMA enforcement on Russia sanctions risks amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. Compliance teams face elevated legal, reputational, and secondary sanctions exposure from US/EU measures. #

This amendment reflects Switzerland's ongoing implementation of targeted financial sanctions against politically exposed persons connected to the former Assad regime, requiring immediate compliance from all financial intermediaries and asset holders operating in Swiss jurisdiction.

This matters for compliance professionals as it signals France's push for global-EU interoperability in ESG reporting, influencing how firms align ISSB "investor-focused" standards with Europe's double-materiality CSRD/ESRS framework to avoid dual reporting burdens. https://www.amf-france.org/en/news-publications/amfs-eu-positions/amf-response-issb-consultation-exposure-drafts-sustainability-disclosure-standards; https://www.amf-france.org/sites/institutionnel/files/private/2022-07/Position%20paper%20ISSB%20AMF%20-%20July%202022_0.pdf #
Sanctions & settlements Compliance Journalists Investment services providers The AMF Enforcement Committee fines a depositary for breaches of its professional obligations
The AMF Enforcement Committee fined RBC Investor Services Bank France SA (RBC ISBF) €500,000 plus a warning on 20 July 2022 (published 08 January 2026) for breaches as a UCITS and AIF depositary, including 25 confirmed failures in tiered intervention procedures for investment ratio overruns and deficient monitoring of 14 questionable cash flows over 45 months. This decision underscores AMF's strict enforcement of depositary duties under French regulations implementing UCITS/AIFMD, emphasizing robust controls for ratio compliance, cash flow verification, and documentation. It matters for compliance teams as it provides precedent on what constitutes "irregular and deficient" oversight, potentially increasing scrutiny and fines for similar lapses in depositary functions. #
