Financial services regulation in both the UK and EU appears to be undergoing a significant transformation, shifting from risk regulation to actively fostering growth.

- The EU Omnibus Package: This initiative aims to streamline sustainability reporting, with draft legislation expected later this month.
- UK AIFM Regime Reform: Proposed changes could significantly reshape the regulatory framework for UK alternative investment fund managers.
- Technology Risk Regulation: Following the implementation of the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), there is increased focus on technology risk regulation, including potential developments in the UK regime.
