Why you should
watch:
It is not just Brexit. It is not
even just the hooh-hah over share trading venues. There is a lot going on in
Brussels that will have a big impact on the City - and a new Commissioner,
Mairead McGuinness, to oversee it. On that score, one thing is clear: her
priority will be the retail end of the business - something that didn't really
get much of a look-in when the Commission unveiled its new CMU Action Plan.
Other than that, there is a big push at the EU level on AML. There is also a
lot to be said on Green taxonomy, on CBDC and on a new Digital Finance package.
And, of course, a big push for an EU 'safe asset' thanks to the SURE programme
and the Next Gen package. Two experts - one in the UK, one in Brussels - sort
the wheat from the chaff.
