Key arguments
- The EU and UK are progressing towards similar policy objectives in financial services regulation, albeit with different approaches, such as prescription versus outcomes-based.
- Digital assets and stablecoins are seen as offering growth and innovation potential, but require careful risk assessment, particularly in cross-border contexts.
- Regulators are increasingly using AI and RegTech to supervise fund operators, requiring standardized data, but are also aware of the burden of excessive data collection.
- Both EU and UK are implementing frameworks to balance innovation with financial stability and consumer protection in areas like AI and cybersecurity.
Risks
- Digital euro offline functionality poses a risk of losing money if device is lost, with no refund possible.
- Stablecoin regulation may face challenges in ensuring backing assets are managed clearly and risks to financial stability are mitigated.
- Rapid evolution of AI may outpace regulation, necessitating proactive risk management to prevent AI-driven cyber threats.
- Excessive data collection from fund operators increases pressure on them, but regulators are seeking to reduce burden through harmonisation.
