Regulatory Reporting – 14 to Watch in 2024 – (EU/APAC)

Subscribe to our newsletter

Growth in the global capital markets is being driven largely by the increasing interconnectedness of global economies. This allows for more cross-border trading activity and the creation of new asset classes and investment strategies. New markets are being created, and access to existing markets is expanding.

Regulatory reporting functions are facing intense pressure as they navigate a labyrinth of requirements across multiple jurisdictions. The stakes have never been higher, with enforcement actions and penalties escalating for non-compliance. This landscape underscores the critical need for advanced technologies and solutions that not only streamline compliance processes but also enhance data accuracy, transparency, and operational efficiency.

This list is taken from our advisory board’s shortlist of nominees and votes for the 2024 A-Team RegTech Insight award for “Best Regulatory Reporting Solution” for Europe (EU), and “Best Regulatory Reporting Solution” for Asia Pacific (APAC).
