Executive Summary

The financial services industry is undergoing sweeping changes driven by regulatory developments, rapidly advancing technology, ESG concerns and continued consolidation in the sector.

The Guide acts as a quick reference tool when distributing financial products into new markets, providing a comprehensive summary of regulations applicable to banks and other financial services companies around the world.
