Welcome to Baker McKenzie's Global Financial Services Regulatory (FSR) Momentum Monitor. The FSR Momentum Monitor is a horizon scanning tool allowing financial service providers to plan and prepare for coming developments across the jurisdictions in which they operate. Grouping upcoming changes into key business-relevant themes, the FSR Momentum Monitor highlights the extent and expected impact of upcoming regulatory intervention in multiple jurisdictions across the globe. Cross-border momentum towards increased regulation, or a common approach adopted by regulators, is examined in our accompanying global commentary.

Click the icon below to view analysis from our experts using the heat map display.
Filter by category and click on a country for an explanation of the rating assigned. Red, Amber and Green ratings indicate the following:
|
RED |
One or more upcoming developments (or the trend of developments considered as a whole) had the potential to seriously impact affected firms, involving significant change to business practices, significant investment of time and/or resources, or significant regulatory change or obligations. |
|
AMBER |
One or more upcoming developments (or the trend of developments considered as a whole) have the potential to impact affected firms, but the expected impact will not be as significant. This category also covers forthcoming developments (or the trend of developments considered as a whole) that should attract a ”watch and wait“ brief from affected firms where the full impact is not yet known but should be closely monitored. |
|
GREEN |
No upcoming developments are expected to significantly impact affected firms. This category also covers circumstances where there are no relevant developments to consider, or where developments are still too early or vague to assess impact. |
The "All Topics" option on the interactive heat map defaults to the highest applicable complexity RAG rating for each country on the map. Click on the map to view details on each topic per country.
