Financial Regulation Legal Outlook 2026

Our Financial Regulation Outlook 2026 explores the key regulatory developments that we expect to see in the Banking, Asset Management and Payments sectors over the coming year.

Looking across the developments, they feature three core themes:

• the politicisation of regulation,
• the drive to manage systemic risk and instability, and
• the challenge of keeping pace with rapid technological change.

Read our three Outlooks to understand how these themes feature in Wholesale Banking, Asset Management and Payments over the course of 2026, and beyond.
