Regulated Radio

The global banking sector has experienced a period of instability this year. Starting in March, a string of bank failures in the United States and Europe created uncertainty in the market and raised doubts about what would happen next.

In this episode of Regulated Radio, Scott Martin is joined by Deloitte's Centre for Regulatory Strategy Leads, David Strachan and Irena Gecas-McCarthy, to discuss the period of banking sector stress seen earlier this year, the immediate supervisory response to it, and the regulatory changes we may see emerge in its aftermath.

In recent years, the easy availability of sustainable funds in the retail markets and the increasing amount of money flowing into these funds have made greenwashing a hot topic in the investment management sector. Regulators in the UK and EU are clearly aware of the potential for greenwashing in this industry and are attempting to tackle it through a range of regulatory initiatives.

In this episode of Regulated Radio, Scott Martin is joined by Deloitte's ESG in investment management experts Jessica Hodges and Stuart Royden-Turner to discuss the key greenwashing challenges facing the industry at the moment, and in particular the role of ESG data in this story.

In this episode, our experts Toby Roxburgh, UK Nature and Biodiversity Lead and Simon Brennan, EMEA Sustainability Regulatory Strategy Lead, join host Scott Martin to explore what 'nature risk' is, how it relates to climate risk and what businesses should be doing to prepare for nature-related regulation. Tune in to learn more about how the wider nature and biodiversity agenda is rapidly coming up on climate's coat tails.

In June we published a report intended to help wholesale banks in the EU and UK develop a digital assets strategy in the context of an evolving regulatory landscape. In this episode Deloitte's financial services, regulatory and legal experts Suchitra Nair, Ed Moorby and Clare Jenkinson discuss some of the key considerations, both strategic and regulatory, for banks looking to build out their digital assets business.

The Financial Conduct Authority has published its final rules for its new Consumer Duty. The Duty raises the standards of consumer protection in retail financial markets. With the introduction of a new Consumer Principle, and a set of cross-cutting rules and outcomes that support it, firms now face a significant task to meet these raised standards of consumer care. In this episode, Deloitte's regulatory, financial services, and legal experts David Strachan, David Clements, and Jake Ghanty give their quick take on the Duty and how they think it will shape the UK financial services sector.

In this episode, David Strachan and Suchitra Nair from the EMEA Centre for Regulatory Strategy discuss the major market developments that have shaped 2022 so far and what these are likely to mean for the regulation and supervision of financial services firms.

An increasingly complex technological, social, and geopolitical environment means that financial services firms must plan for disruptions to their operations that may not have been conceivable just a decade ago. With the UK financial services regulatory framework for operational resilience having come into force in March, and the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act nearing completion, the hard work for firms to build their resilience has just begun. To discuss the implications of this for the financial services industry, and much more, we welcome Sarah Black and Suchitra Nair to the podcast.
