Why you should watch: Regardless of Brexit, the EU matters – especially to the UK financial services sector. What happens to CCPs is an obvious concern, but developments on the CMU programme are equally – and more positively – important to London. There is also the Green taxonomy, issues over a consolidated tape (and post-trade transparency more generally), and a serious attempt to come to grips with digitalisation and with the mysterious world of DeFi. Plus, what does the new German government mean for financial services? And what does the French Presidency have up its sleeve for the first half of next year?
