For Examiner Eyes Only: The Safest Ways For Financial Institutions To Share Sensitive Information

Date 23/07/2026

Regulators require banks and other financial institutions to share certain sensitive information as part of the examination process. This information can include roadmaps to the institution’s cybersecurity defenses, CEO succession plans and M&A proposals. Given the sensitivity of such data and the rise in sophisticated cyber threats, it’s critical that financial firms can keep their information secure — including when examiners need to access it. Granular details of such data are often extraneous to the mandate of examiners, who are meant to focus on material risks to the bank, such as interest rate risk. A new joint paper by a coalition of financial trade associations 1 recommends best practices for sharing access to sensitive information in the supervisory process.

ISDA derivatiViews: An Important Step Towards Efficient Reporting

Date 23/07/2026

Of all the problems that have hindered effective trade reporting in the derivatives market, one of the most difficult to resolve has been duplication. In the EU, both parties to a trade are mandated to submit the same information, while multiple regulations can require the same trade to be reported several times. This not only adds to cost and resources, but it also means trade repositories and supervisors have a hard time reconciling repetitive data to build an accurate picture of risk. The good news is that the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has now decided to move towards a so-called ‘report once’ framework – a change that, if done correctly, could materially improve reporting for both market participants and regulators.

Letter From The Bank Of England Governor To The Daily Mail - Letter From Governor Andrew Bailey To The Daily Mail On The Subject Of AI And Cyber-Attacks

Date 23/07/2026

Letter

Connor Axiotes is right to draw attention to the seriousness of frontier AI and its potential impact on the risk of cyber attacks (‘Humanity is no longer in control of its most awesome creation since the atom bombOpens in a new window ’). But his assertion about the Bank of England’s cyber defences being unsophisticated is totally wrong, unfounded and dangerous. For obvious security reasons we do not discuss our defences in detail. But I can assure Daily Mail readers the Bank has the right investment, expertise and capabilities and works extremely closely with expert partners including the National Cyber Security Centre.
