Asia Pacific regulatory themes for 2016

The themes cover:

• Substantial changes to how capital requirements are calculated and other ongoing crisis-driven and stability-related reforms;
• Ongoing pressure to improve and demonstrate good conduct and culture;
• Important discussions concerning the interplay between technology and regulation; and
• Overlaying these regulatory initiatives, the ever-present challenge of regulatory change implementation.
  

All four themes reflect the influence of the G-20-led post-crisis international regulatory reform on the Asia Pacific region. Because of this, 2016 will be an important year for Asia as China assumes the presidency of the G-20 and sets the agenda and tone for the year. The region and its institutions will have a heightened opportunity to voice their opinions on the international agenda and its impact across our divergent financial systems, economic needs and stages of development. This paper gives a high-level view of the themes that Asia Pacific institutions should be considering for action both internally and within the broader policy context.

While each theme may have a varying relative level of importance across each institution and jurisdiction, we believe that in combination these themes will dominate strategic considerations in the coming period across the Asia Pacific region.
