New Sanctions Against 225 Captains of Russia’s Shadow Fleet Vessels and Entities Servicing Russian Military-Industrial Complex: The President Has Enacted the NSDC Decision — Official website of the President of Ukraine

TITLE: Ukraine Enacts Sanctions Against 225 Shadow Fleet Captains and Russian Military-Industrial Entities BODY: On February 21, 2026, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine signed decrees implementing National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) decisions to impose new sanctions packages targeting Russia's shadow fleet and entities supporting Russia's military-industrial complex. The first sanctions package targets 225 ship captains involved in transporting Russian petroleum products in circumvention of sanctions imposed by the European Union, Group of Seven, and other states. The captains are citizens of 11 countries, including Russia, India, and the Philippines. Monitoring of the Black, Red, and Baltic Seas identified these individuals as commanding vessels belonging to Russia's shadow fleet. Of the affected tankers, 188 are already under sanctions from the European Union, United States, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. The second sanctions package includes 46 Russian citizens, two Iranian citizens, and 44 Russian companies. The sanctioned entities supply, develop, manufacture, and repair equipment, electronic warfare systems, and spare parts for Russia's military-industrial complex.

SSSCIP Launches New Guidelines to Streamline Cyber Incident Prioritisation and Response

TITLE: Ukraine's State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection Launches Cyber Incident Prioritisation Guidelines BODY: On February 18, 2026, the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine (SSSCIP) launched new guidelines titled "Cyber Incident Processing: Prioritisation Based on Defined Criticality Levels." The guidelines are designed to optimise the operations of Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) and mitigate the potential impact of cyberattacks on national security and the economy. Developed in accordance with the Implementation Plan for the Cybersecurity Strategy of Ukraine and the National Cyber Incident Response Plan, the guidelines establish a prioritisation framework for cyber incidents based on a criticality scale ranging from 0 (non-critical) to 5 (emergency). The assessment methodology employs the international Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) 3.1 metric to provide objective evaluation of vulnerability complexity and danger. Priority is assigned based on the incident's potential impact at state level and the affected sector, with highest priority given to threats compromising national security, economic stability, or government operations. The security and cyber defence sectors, government authorities, and the energy industry are designated as top priorities in the response queue. The SSSCIP developed the guidelines by integrating recommendations from the US Cybersecurity and Infr ... (2128 chars total)

Принят закон, направленный на борьбу с азартными играми

TITLE: Russia's State Duma Adopts Law to Combat Gambling Advertising on Social Media BODY: Russia's State Duma has passed legislation in its third reading amending the Federal Law on Advertising and the Federal Law on State Regulation of Gambling Activities. The law introduces comprehensive measures to prevent and combat gambling addiction (ludomania) and establishes stricter requirements for gambling and betting advertisements. Under the new law, all gambling advertisements must include warnings stating that participation in gambling does not guarantee winnings and may result in financial loss and harm to health and wellbeing. Advertisers and advertising distributors will be held liable for violations of these requirements. The legislation also mandates that gambling operators display a QR code on their websites containing information about alternative investment opportunities for savings and additional income, alongside mandatory information about the risks and harmful consequences of gambling participation. Maxim Topilin, Chairman of the State Duma's Committee on Economic Policy, stated that the measures aim to protect citizens from gambling addiction, strengthen state control over gambling establishments, and increase transparency and accountability among gambling operators. The law represents a coordinated approach to regulating gambling promotion across multiple legislative frameworks, including amendments to laws governing advertising practices and gambling regulat ...

Enforcement Policy Statement Promoting the Adoption of Age-Verification Technology | Federal Trade Commission

TITLE: Federal Trade Commission Issues Enforcement Policy Statement Promoting Age-Verification Technology Adoption BODY: On February 25, 2026, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued an enforcement policy statement promoting the adoption of age-verification technology to protect children online. The policy statement incentivises companies to implement age-verification technologies as a compliance mechanism under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). COPPA regulates how operators of websites and online services directed to children, or that have actual knowledge they are collecting personal information from children under 13 years of age, must handle children's data. The FTC's enforcement policy statement signals the agency's commitment to encouraging industry adoption of age-verification solutions to better protect minors from inappropriate content and data collection practices. The statement provides guidance to operators on how implementing robust age-verification technologies can demonstrate compliance efforts and may influence FTC enforcement decisions. This approach recognises that age-verification tools can serve as an effective safeguard against unauthorised access to children's personal information and age-restricted content. The policy applies to all entities subject to COPPA, including social media platforms, online gaming services, streaming providers, and other digital services that interact with or collect data from children. The FTC's enfo ... (1863 chars total)

TITLE: Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission Amends Futures Merchant Financial Reporting Standards to Align with International Financial Reporting Standard 18 BODY: On February 25, 2026, Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) announced amendments to the Futures Merchant Financial Report Compilation Standards to align with International Financial Reporting Standard 18 (IFRS 18) on Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. The amendments will take effect from the 117th accounting year and enhance transparency in futures merchants' financial reporting and disclosure. The key amendments include adjustments to the comprehensive income statement structure, requiring futures merchants to classify revenues and expenses by category—including operating, investing, financing, income tax, and discontinued operations. Futures merchants must evaluate their primary business activities and classify revenues or expenses accordingly. For example, futures merchants with proprietary trading operations must classify gains or losses from financial instrument investments within their proprietary departments as operating activities. The amendments also introduce new subtotal line items including "operating profit" and "profit before tax and financing," while adding "interest income" and removing "financial costs" as standalone items. Additional changes include requiring futures merchants to separately present goodwill on the balance sheet and to disclose management-define ... (2013 chars total)

Strategic review of FSB crisis preparedness activities - Financial Stability Board

TITLE: Financial Stability Board Launches Strategic Review of Crisis Preparedness Activities BODY: The Financial Stability Board (FSB) has launched a strategic review of its crisis preparedness activities to strengthen the global financial system's ability to respond to financial institution distress and sectoral disruptions. The review, announced in January 2026, builds on over 15 years of standard-setting anchored in the Key Attributes of Effective Resolution Regimes for Financial Institutions, first adopted in 2011. The FSB's strategic review aims to strengthen and adapt crisis preparedness activities in response to emerging vulnerabilities in the global financial system, drawing on lessons learned from financial crises since the FSB's formation in 2009. The review will enhance crisis preparedness activities across all stages of a crisis, from early intervention measures through recovery and resolution to post-stabilisation restructuring. It will also refine internal processes and organisational structure to achieve the FSB's strategic objectives for crisis preparedness, while strengthening the central role of the Key Attributes as the international standard for resolution regimes. The FSB has appointed Andrea Enria, former Chair of the Supervisory Board of the European Central Bank and the first Chair of the European Banking Authority, to lead a high-level group conducting the strategic review. Enria stated that "the ability to manage crises effectively is not just a ... (2133 chars total)

Ukraine to Pivot to Proactive Cyber Defence in 2026: SSSCIP Chairman Outlines Strategic Roadmap

TITLE: Ukraine Shifts to Proactive Cyber Defence Strategy with Legislative and Infrastructure Expansion BODY: On February 20, 2026, Oleksandr Potii, Chairman of the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine (SSSCIP), outlined Ukraine's strategic cybersecurity roadmap during a meeting of Cybersecurity Directors in Munich. The announcement marks a transition from reactive incident management to proactive risk mitigation across the country's digital infrastructure. The SSSCIP has identified three strategic priorities for 2026. First, it will complete legislative reform by finalising 20 additional regulatory acts, building on Law No. 4336-IX and 13 government regulations adopted in 2025. This effort aims to increase Ukraine's implementation of the European Union's Network and Information Systems Directive 2 (NIS2 Directive) from 76 percent to 90 percent. Second, the Service will deploy a network of regional cyber protection centres within its territorial units. Two pilot centres are already operational, with each hub integrating a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT), a Security Operations Centre (SOC), and a training facility. A national threat data exchange platform will establish a "single-window" mechanism for information sharing. The SSSCIP has also launched a pilot national Domain Name System (DNS), enabling real-time oversight of domestic cyberspace. Third, the Service will enhance professional development through its CISO ... (2050 chars total)

TITLE: South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service Launches Integrated Cybersecurity Monitoring System BODY: On February 27, 2026, the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) of South Korea commenced full operations of its integrated financial cybersecurity monitoring system, known as FIRST (Financial-IT Incident Response Surveillance control-Tower). The system was developed to enable rapid and efficient responses to cyber threats that could disrupt consumers' access to financial services. The FIRST system functions as a centralised control tower for financial computing crisis response and surveillance. It systematically manages security threat information collected on a continuous basis through a database, enabling the FSS to transmit critical information to financial institutions alongside necessary action items through a real-time, bidirectional communication channel. Financial institutions provide feedback on remedial measures taken, and the system incorporates emergency contact functionality for use during crisis situations. The integrated system manages the entire process from cyber threat information collection through information sharing, assessment of impact on financial institutions, and monitoring of response measures. This systematic approach is expected to strengthen the FSS's capacity to respond to security threats. The FSS will support smooth operation of the system through a briefing session held on February 27, 2026, and intends to advance its transition towa ... (1795 chars total)

TITLE: South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service Launches Integrated Cybersecurity Monitoring System BODY: On February 27, 2026, the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) launched the Financial-IT Incident Response Surveillance control-Tower (FIRST), an integrated cybersecurity monitoring system designed to enhance the financial sector's response to cyber threats. The FIRST system addresses growing cybersecurity risks facing South Korea's financial institutions as digital dependency increases across the sector. Previously, threat information collection, sharing, and emergency communications relied on manual processes such as email and phone calls, limiting the sector's ability to respond rapidly to critical threats. The integrated system establishes three core functions: systematic collection and management of security threat information through database integration; real-time, bidirectional communication channels enabling the FSS to rapidly disseminate critical security threats to financial institutions and receive response updates; and emergency hotline capabilities connecting information technology and cybersecurity personnel across all financial institutions for immediate crisis communication. The system collects threat intelligence from multiple sources, including the National Intelligence Service, Financial Services Commission cyber alerts, breach incident data, malware information, and security vulnerability reports. Financial institutions receive critical security ... (2161 chars total)

TITLE: South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service Establishes Actuarial Supervision Team to Enhance Insurance Oversight BODY: On February 27, 2026, the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) of South Korea announced its 2026 actuarial supervision operational direction, establishing a dedicated actuarial supervision team to strengthen oversight of insurance companies' actuarial assumptions and insurance liability valuations. The FSS created the actuarial supervision team in early 2026 to address systemic risks arising from unreasonable actuarial assumptions. Inappropriate actuarial assumptions can lead to profit overstatement, improper product profitability assessments, and threats to insurance company solvency and consumer protection. The team will conduct comprehensive verification and analysis of insurance companies' actuarial assumption operations, cash flow modelling, and internal control procedures. Key supervision areas include: the rationality of actuarial assumption calculation methods; the appropriateness of actuarial assumption frameworks; the accuracy of cash flow models against underlying documentation; and the effectiveness of internal controls governing actuarial assumption changes. The FSS will verify that insurance companies comply with solvency standards under the Insurance Business Act, supervisory accounting requirements, and other applicable regulations when valuing insurance liabilities. The FSS will implement a dual supervision model combining regular ... (2171 chars total)

SEC.gov | SEC’s Division of Enforcement Announces Updates to Enforcement Manual

TITLE: United States Securities and Exchange Commission Updates Enforcement Manual to Enhance Fairness and Efficiency BODY: On February 24, 2026, the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Division of Enforcement announced significant updates to its Enforcement Manual, which had not been revised since 2017. The updates reinforce the agency's commitment to fairness, transparency, and efficiency in its investigative and enforcement processes. The revised manual introduces several key procedural changes designed to enhance consistency and uniformity across the Division's practices. Recipients of a Wells notice will ordinarily receive four weeks to submit Wells submissions, with Wells meetings scheduled within four weeks of receipt and attended by a member of senior leadership within the Division. The updated manual provides guidance on what constitutes a helpful Wells submission and emphasises open, informed dialogue between SEC staff and potential respondents to facilitate fair and timely resolution of investigations. The manual also reflects the SEC's restoration of its prior practice permitting settling parties to simultaneously request settlement offers and Commission waivers from automatic disqualifications and collateral consequences resulting from enforcement actions. This change enhances transparency, conserves Commission resources, and protects investors by driving efficiencies in investigation resolution. Additional updates include a detailed framework for eva ... (1911 chars total)

TITLE: South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service Introduces Uncapped Whistleblower Rewards for Stock Manipulation and Accounting Fraud Reports BODY: On February 25, 2026, South Korea's Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) announced a significant overhaul of its whistleblower reward programme to encourage insiders with critical information on market misconduct to come forward. The FSC will implement three key changes to the reward system. First, it will introduce uncapped financial rewards for reports of stock price manipulation and accounting fraud, removing previous limits on compensation. Second, whistleblowers will receive up to 30 percent of any recovered ill-gotten gains and administrative fines collected as a result of their reports. Third, individuals reporting to other government agencies such as the police will also be eligible for rewards, regardless of whether they report directly to the FSC or the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS). The programme aims to incentivise employees and other individuals with direct knowledge of unfair trading practices and accounting irregularities to disclose violations. The FSC has prepared amendments to the Capital Markets Act Enforcement Decree, the External Audit Act Enforcement Decree, and related reward regulations to implement these changes. The FSC initiated a legislative notice and regulatory change notice period from February 26 to April 7, 2026. Following review by the Office of Legislation, a vice-ministerial meet ...

Directive - EU - 2026/470 - EN - EUR-Lex

TITLE: European Union Amends Corporate Sustainability Reporting and Due Diligence Requirements to Reduce Regulatory Burden BODY: On 26 February 2026, the European Parliament and Council adopted Directive (EU) 2026/470, which amends four key directives governing corporate sustainability reporting and due diligence obligations across the European Union. The directive substantially narrows the scope of mandatory sustainability reporting requirements. The net turnover threshold for undertakings subject to individual sustainability reporting has been raised from EUR 150 million to EUR 450 million, with an additional requirement of more than 1,000 employees on average during the financial year. This change significantly reduces the number of companies required to comply with mandatory sustainability reporting under Directive 2013/34/EU. Small and medium-sized undertakings whose securities are admitted to trading on regulated markets are now excluded from mandatory reporting, though they remain free to report voluntarily using simplified standards. The directive also substantially increases thresholds under the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (EU) 2024/1760. The turnover threshold rises from EUR 450 million to EUR 1.5 billion, and the employee threshold increases from 1,000 to 5,000 employees. Corresponding thresholds for franchising and licensing arrangements have been adjusted proportionally. Key modifications include: postponing the adoption of limited assur ... (2404 chars total)

Ukraine Strengthens National Cyber Resilience with New Risk-Oriented Response Framework

TITLE: Ukraine's State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection Issues New Cyber Incident Response Framework BODY: On 18 February 2026, the Administration of the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine (SSSCIP) issued Order No. 143, establishing a new risk-oriented cyber incident and attack response framework. This regulation supersedes 2023 guidelines and aligns Ukraine's cybersecurity approach with European standards and international best practices. The new framework shifts focus from reactive measures to proactive risk management by integrating cyber threats alongside established concepts of incidents and attacks. This enables the identification and neutralisation of hazards before they cause tangible damage to critical systems and networks. The response process is structured into four distinct phases: Preparation (asset inventory, vulnerability assessments, protection systems deployment, and staff training); Detection and Analysis (classification and prioritisation of events using a five-tier criticality scale from "White" to "Black" levels); Containment and Recovery (isolating affected network segments, eliminating threats, and restoring operations); and Post-Incident Activity (evaluating response effectiveness, producing final reports, and refining security policies through analysis of attackers' tactics, techniques, and procedures).

FTC Issues COPPA Policy Statement to Incentivize the Use of Age Verification Technologies to Protect Children Online | Federal Trade Commission

TITLE: Federal Trade Commission Issues Policy Statement to Incentivize Age Verification Technologies Under COPPA BODY: On February 25, 2026, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a policy statement announcing its enforcement approach regarding age verification technologies used to protect children online under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA Rule). The policy statement establishes that the FTC will not bring an enforcement action under the COPPA Rule against website and online service operators that collect, use, and disclose personal information solely for the purpose of determining a user's age via age verification technologies, provided they comply with specified conditions. The COPPA Rule requires operators of commercial websites or online services directed to children under 13 to obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children. However, age verification technologies may require personal information collection to determine age, raising questions about COPPA compliance. Under the policy statement, operators of general audience and mixed audience sites and services must: limit use and disclosure of collected information to age verification purposes only; delete information promptly after verification; disclose information only to third parties capable of maintaining confidentiality and security; provide clear notice to parents and children; employ reasonable security safeguards; and verify that age verific ...

The translated communications are available on the Conselho de Controle de Atividades Financeiras (COAF) website, Brazil's financial intelligence unit.

Central Bank sets out its regulatory and supervisory priorities against the backdrop of geoeconomic shifts and accelerating technological changes that are reshaping the financial system

TITLE: Central Bank of Ireland Sets Out Regulatory and Supervisory Priorities for 2026 BODY: On 26 February 2026, the Central Bank of Ireland published its Regulatory & Supervisory Outlook 2026, outlining its assessment of risks facing the financial sector and the supervisory work it will undertake in response. This is the third annual report of its kind. The Central Bank's assessment identifies operational risks as remaining very high for the financial sector, driven by current geopolitical tensions, advancing digitalisation, and increasingly complex operating models. Relative to the previous year, asset valuation and market risks have increased, as have risks associated with data, models, and artificial intelligence (AI). Conversely, inflation and interest rate risks have abated for the financial sector, reflecting the evolution of inflation and monetary policy in the euro area and the preparedness of the sector itself. The outlook is set against a backdrop of geoeconomic fragmentation and rapid technological developments reshaping the financial system. The Central Bank's regulatory and supervisory priorities respond to this risk environment through its integrated supervisory approach. Governor Gabriel Makhlouf stated that operational and cyber risks remain key concerns with rising threats, necessitating significant focus on operational resilience. The Central Bank will prioritise how firms are securing consumer interests and responding to technological change. Additio ... (2036 chars total)

GUIDELINE ON THE MANAGEMENT OF CLIMATE-RELATED FINANCIAL RISKS

TITLE: Turkey's Banking Regulation and Supervision Board Issues Climate-Related Financial Risk Management Guideline BODY: On March 13, 2025, the Banking Regulation and Supervision Board (BRSA) issued a best practice guideline on the management of climate-related financial risks for banks operating in Turkey. The guideline establishes baseline principles for banks to manage exposures and potential impacts of climate-related financial risks through policies, processes and controls across all relevant functions and business units. The guideline defines climate-related financial risks as risks arising from both physical and transition factors. Physical risks include acute risks from natural events such as floods and wildfires, and chronic risks from sustained shifts in climate patterns. Transition risks arise from changes in policy, regulation, technology and consumer behaviour during the adaptation to a low-carbon economy. The guideline applies on a proportionate basis depending on each bank's size, corporate structure, complexity and scope of activities. The guideline establishes 12 core principles covering corporate governance, internal systems, capital and liquidity adequacy, risk management processes, monitoring and reporting, credit risk management, market and liquidity risk management, operational risk management, and scenario analysis. Banks must develop sound processes to understand and assess climate-related risk impacts on their businesses, clearly assign climate-r ... (2074 chars total)

CP3/26 – PRA rule changes to accommodate HM Treasury’s Overseas Prudential Requirements Regime | Bank of England

TITLE: United Kingdom's Prudential Regulation Authority Proposes Rule Changes to Accommodate Overseas Prudential Requirements Regime BODY: On 19 February 2026, the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) published Consultation Paper 3/26, setting out proposed amendments to its Rulebook to align with HM Treasury's (HMT) implementation of the Overseas Prudential Requirements Regime (OPRR). The OPRR restates existing Credit Risk Regulation (CRR) equivalence provisions with modifications, replacing HMT's current approach to recognising other jurisdictions' regulatory frameworks. The PRA's proposals aim to ensure coherence between its Rulebook and HMT's reforms across multiple credit risk areas. Key proposed changes include amendments to the treatment of exposures to institutions, eligible covered bonds, central governments and central banks, regional governments and local authorities, public sector entities, and Gibraltarian entities. The proposals also address large exposure limits and clarify interactions between PRA rules and OPRR designations. The PRA emphasises that the expected impact on firms is minimal, with no material costs anticipated. The proposals maintain existing requirements and PRA approaches while enhancing clarity and operationalisation. Changes would apply to PRA-authorised UK banks, building societies, PRA-designated UK investment firms, and their qualifying parent undertakings.

TITLE: Russia's Central Bank Launches Consultation on Systemically Important Credit Institution Methodology BODY: On May 22, 2025, the Bank of Russia published a consultation report outlining a new concept for the methodology used to determine systemically important credit institutions (SICIs). The consultation report presents a revised framework for identifying and classifying credit institutions that are considered systemically significant to the Russian financial system. Systemically important credit institutions are those whose failure or distress could pose risks to financial stability. The new methodology concept aims to establish updated criteria and procedures for this identification process, reflecting current market conditions and regulatory priorities. The Bank of Russia is seeking feedback from market participants, industry stakeholders, and the public on the proposed approach to ensure the methodology is comprehensive, transparent, and appropriately calibrated. Responses to the consultation, including answers to questions posed in the report and any comments or suggestions, must be submitted by June 27, 2025 to surveys_DBRA@cbr.ru.

NCUA Announces Sixth Round of Deregulation Proposals | NCUA

TITLE: United States National Credit Union Administration Announces Sixth Round of Deregulation Proposals BODY: On February 24, 2026, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) announced the sixth round of proposed regulatory changes as part of its ongoing Deregulation Project. The initiative aims to review NCUA's regulations to ensure they remain focused on credit unions' safety, soundness, and resilience while reducing unnecessary compliance burden. The six proposals target regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations that are considered obsolete, overly burdensome, or duplicative. Key proposals include: removing the requirement for credit union directors to obtain finance and accounting expertise within six months of appointment (12 CFR 701.4(b)(3)); clarifying "overall financial performance" definitions in loan compensation plans to support staff recruitment and retention (12 CFR 701.21(c)(8)); revising eligible obligations requirements to allow credit unions greater flexibility in establishing internal written policies (12 CFR 701.23); eliminating the refund of interest regulation as duplicative of the Federal Credit Union Act (12 CFR 701.24); removing credit union service contract requirements (12 CFR 701.26); and simplifying statutory lien definitions (12 CFR 701.39(a)(1)). These changes are intended to reduce administrative complexity while maintaining appropriate oversight and risk management frameworks. The NCUA is requesting public comments on these prop ...

TITLE: South Korea's Financial Services Commission Strengthens Personal Overdue Debt Management Practices BODY: On February 26, 2026, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of South Korea held the second Inclusive Financial Transformation Conference to reform debt collection practices and implement people-centred finance. The FSC announced comprehensive measures to strengthen personal overdue debt management, focusing on three key initiatives: activating financial companies' internal debt restructuring at early stages of delinquency, strengthening regulations on debt sales, and reforming mechanical extension practices of statute of limitations on overdue debts. The FSC introduced institutional support to encourage financial companies to utilise internal debt restructuring procedures more actively. Financial institutions must now inform debtors of their debt restructuring rights before loss of benefit of time, and the FSC will distribute best practice guidelines for internal debt restructuring standards across financial sectors. A post-evaluation system will assess financial companies' debt restructuring performance, and principal reductions will be recognised as losses to strengthen incentives for internal restructuring. To enhance consumer protection during debt sales, the FSC will require original creditor financial companies to maintain customer protection responsibilities even after selling debts. This includes monitoring and reporting illegal practices by debt purch ... (2392 chars total)

DP1/26 – Future banking data | Bank of England

TITLE: Bank of England Prudential Regulation Authority Launches Discussion on Future Banking Data Collection Framework BODY: On 4 February 2026, the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) published Discussion Paper 1/26 (DP1/26) outlining its strategic approach to regulatory reporting for banks. The Future Banking Data (FBD) programme aims to deliver tangible cost reduction for banks while improving the relevance, quality and timeliness of data collection, consistent with the PRA's secondary competitiveness and growth objective. The PRA collects regulatory data from PRA-authorised UK banks, building societies, PRA-designated investment firms, and their qualifying parent undertakings to support effective supervision, assess risks to financial stability, and inform policy development. The discussion paper identifies four key areas for potential improvement: reviewing what data is collected and from which firms; evaluating legacy collection processes; clarifying reporting instructions; and closing data gaps around emerging risks. The PRA recognises that data provision represents substantial costs for firms, with over 400 reporting templates currently in use covering capital adequacy, liquidity, credit quality, market risk and counterparty risk. The PRA proposes four principles to guide the FBD programme: anchoring data collection in the PRA's statutory objectives; collecting data "once and well" by minimising duplication; making it easier for firms to supply data; and ensurin ...

Commission launches public consultation on EU banking - Finance

TITLE: European Commission Launches Public Consultation on EU Banking Sector Competitiveness BODY: On 11 February 2026, the European Commission launched a targeted public consultation and call for evidence on the competitiveness of the EU banking sector. The initiative seeks stakeholder input on how EU banks perform domestically and globally, their role in financing the European economy, deepening the EU's single market and banking union, and simplifying the regulatory and supervisory framework. The consultation builds on progress achieved over the past decade in strengthening bank resilience through robust regulatory frameworks and the establishment of the banking union, which has enhanced financial stability across the EU. However, the Commission recognises that Europe's banks must play a stronger role in financing the EU economy and supporting growth, innovation, and investments to reinforce EU competitiveness. Stakeholder feedback will inform the Commission's 2026 report on EU banking sector competitiveness, scheduled for the third quarter of 2026. This report forms part of the savings and investment union (SIU) strategy and will provide an assessment of the banking system in the single market, focusing on competitiveness and setting out an evidence-based agenda for the future of EU banking.

CP2/26 – Reforms to securitisation requirements | Bank of England

TITLE: Bank of England Prudential Regulation Authority Launches Consultation on Securitisation Requirements Reforms BODY: On 17 February 2026, the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) published Consultation Paper 2/26 (CP2/26), proposing comprehensive reforms to securitisation requirements applicable to PRA-authorised firms in the United Kingdom. The consultation proposes substantial amendments to securitisation general (conduct) requirements and certain capital requirements under the Capital Requirements Regulation (CRR). The PRA seeks to make existing requirements more proportionate and less prescriptive while maintaining appropriate prudential safeguards. Key proposals include: simplifying due diligence requirements for institutional investors by removing prescriptive verification and monitoring obligations; introducing an "L-shaped" risk retention modality combining vertical and first-loss retention approaches; streamlining transparency and reporting requirements by deleting prescriptive templates and reducing disclosure burdens for single-loan securitisations; exempting two specific resecuritisation structures from the existing ban—resecuritisations of securitisations created by tranched credit protection and resecuritisations of senior securitisation positions—subject to safeguards; clarifying credit-granting criteria to prevent lower-quality exposures being created solely for securitisation; and introducing a risk-sensitive internal ratings-based (IRB) treatment fo ...

Finanstilsynet vil forenkle reglerne for mindre pengeinstitutter | Finanstilsynet

TITLE: Denmark's Financial Supervisory Authority Simplifies Regulations for Smaller Credit Institutions BODY: On February 18, 2026, Denmark's Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet) announced a project to simplify and proportionally tailor regulations for smaller and less complex credit institutions operating in Denmark. The initiative aims to identify areas where smaller Danish credit institutions, which typically do not operate internationally, can operate under simplified regulatory frameworks compared to current requirements. Finanstilsynet will examine at least the following areas: recovery plans, redemption of own capital instruments, corporate governance and risk management, capital requirements, and solvency needs. The authority will also explore additional areas for proportionality and report on progress by the end of 2026. This project builds on previously implemented proportionality measures, including revised liquidity guidance published in autumn 2025 and amendments to fit and proper rules for board members of smaller institutions. Finanstilsynet has already sent a draft updated decree and guidance on recovery plans for public consultation, proposing to extend the submission frequency from annually to every three years for eligible institutions. The threshold for the smallest credit institutions to submit a capital raising plan instead of a full recovery plan will increase from 1 billion Danish kroner to 2 billion Danish kroner.
