FINRA's Information Notice 11/7/25 publishes a **2026 Filing Schedule** on its website to guide clearing firms on accurate submission dates for extensions of time under Federal Reserve Regulation T, SEA Rule 15c3-3, and FINRA Rule 4210, accounting for holidays and business days. This matters because the automated REX system rejects incorrect dates, forcing resubmissions that delay compliance and risk regulatory violations amid shortened settlement cycles. #

Circular CSSF 26/905
Application of the Guidelines of the European Banking Authority on the management of environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks (EBA/GL/2025/01)
AI Analysis
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. #

PS1/26 โ Implementation of Basel 3.1: Final rules
Policy statement 1/26
AI Analysis
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.
Action Required
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.

PS2/26 โ Retiring the refined methodology to Pillar 2A โ final
Policy Statement 2/26
AI Analysis
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. #
Action Required
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.

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.
Action Required
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.

Action Required
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.

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. #

Survey on the amount of covered deposits held on 31 December 2025
AI Analysis
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.

FSTB and SFC conclude consultations on virtual asset dealer and custodian regimes, further consult on two new regimes
No description available.
AI Analysis
The Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau (FSTB) and Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) have concluded consultations launched on 27 June 2025 on licensing regimes for virtual asset (VA) dealers and VA custodians, confirming legislative proposals to regulate these activities while further consulting on new regimes for VA advisers and asset managers. This advances Hong Kong's comprehensive VA regulatory roadmap, mandating SFC licensing for core VA dealing (e.g., VA-to-VA conversions, broker-dealer services) and custody (focusing on private key safekeeping), with strict requirements for asset segregation and use of licensed custodians to mitigate risks like insolvency, fraud, and cyberattacks. It matters for compliance professionals as it closes gaps in VA oversight, enforces Type 1/Type 13-equivalent standards, and signals accelerated implementation in 2026, potentially reshaping market structures for trading, custody, and related services. #

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.

SS2/25: Prudential considerations for insurance and reinsurance undertakings when transferring risk to Special Purpose Vehicles
Supervisory statement 2/25
AI Analysis
Supervisory Statement SS2/25 from the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) provides guidance on prudential considerations for UK insurance and reinsurance undertakings transferring risk to Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs). It clarifies expectations for ensuring such transfers comply with Solvency II requirements, focusing on risk transfer validity, capital relief recognition, and supervisory approval processes. This matters because it aims to enhance transparency and risk management in reinsurance arrangements, reducing potential regulatory arbitrage while supporting efficient risk mitigation for insurers amid evolving market dynamics. #

Circular IML 91/75 (as amended by Circulars CSSF 05/177, 18/697, 21/790, 22/811 and 25/901) (Updated)
Revision and remodelling of the rules to which Luxembourg undertakings governed by the Law of 30 March 1988 on undertakings for collective investment (โUCIโ) are subject
AI Analysis
Circular IML 91/75, as amended up to CSSF Circular 25/901, consolidates and modernizes the supervisory framework for Luxembourg Part II UCIs, SIFs, and SICARs, refining rules on diversification, borrowing, risk-spreading, and disclosures while tailoring requirements to investor profiles. It matters because it streamlines fragmented regulations, enhances fund competitiveness, and formalizes CSSF expectations without mandating immediate changes for pre-existing funds, reducing compliance burdens while promoting transparency and flexibility. This update aligns administrative practices with market realities, repealing outdated circulars to eliminate ambiguity. #

It matters because it ensures investor protection, risk management, and market stability by imposing strict eligibility, collateral, and operational requirements, aligning Luxembourg funds with EU standards under UCITS and AIFMD directives. Compliance is critical for Luxembourg-domiciled funds engaging in these activities to avoid regulatory sanctions and operational disruptions. #

PS26/25 โ Discontinuing SS20/15: Supervising building societiesโ treasury and lending activities
Policy statement 26/25
AI Analysis
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. #

AI Analysis
Circular CSSF-CPDI 25/48, published on 13 November 2025, updates the methodology for calculating ex-ante contributions to the Fonds de garantie des dรฉpรดts 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. #

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. #

PS22/25 โ Leverage Ratio: Changes to the retail deposits threshold for application of the requirement
Policy statement 22/25
AI Analysis
The PRA's PS22/25 finalizes an increase in the retail deposits threshold for the leverage ratio requirement from ยฃ50 billion to ยฃ75 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. #

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. #

The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA today published guidance on the extension of the transitional period for exchange of collateral in certain OTC derivatives transactions. The current transitional period runs until 1 January 2026 and will be extended by a further three years.
AI Analysis
FINMA extended the transitional period for collateral exchange requirements in non-centrally cleared OTC derivatives from January 1, 2026 to January 1, 2029, providing Swiss market participants with three additional years of relief from mandatory collateral posting obligations on certain equity derivatives. This extension aligns Swiss regulation with the EU's indefinite exemption introduced in December 2024, preventing competitive disadvantages for Swiss derivatives traders while a permanent regulatory framework is developed.
