Level of readiness, strategic responses and major trends for 2018 in the wake of MiFID II
When the going gets tough, the tough get going...
Investment firms can no longer live off the fat MiFID II entered into force on 3 January 2018. Affected entities in Luxembourg took very different approaches to the MiFID II regulation in 2017, and the regulatory, strategic, and operational conseque nces are likely to take up a lot of their time in 2018 as well.
