Regulatory Radar
The Moody’s Analytics Regulatory Radar is a proprietary tool developed to monitor regulations in the immediate and medium term, across market segments and jurisdictions.
This version provides an overview of key rules and regulatory guidelines recently published across Europe in several segments of the financial services industry, including banking, insurance, buy-side, and others.
The radius of the semi-circumference represents the timeline that goes from 2013 at the center, to 2017 at the outer border. The regulations are grouped by market segments: insurance regulations are positioned on the left inside of the radar; banking regulations are shown at the center; and buy-side and other regulations are displayed on the right inside of the radar. Flags are used to represent the jurisdiction(s) where the regulation or guideline is to be applied.
