Financial markets regulatory outlook 2017
The regulatory outlook for financial services firms in 2017 will be determined by a number of factors. Firms continue to be challenged by the introduction of regulations, continued macro-policy uncertainty and digital disruption from new technologies.
Fintech and regtech
• In 2017, fintech will continue to change the industry, along with artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics. Innovative entrants will find greater support from regulators, but those regulators will become increasingly vigilant about the risks that they pose.
• In payments, PSD2 presents many business opportunities. However, the lack of specificity in some of its provisions could complicate its implementation for fintechs and retail banks.
• Elsewhere, regtech promises to push down costs, rein in compliance risk and improve controls. However, its adoption will remain gradual this year. Effective implementation of such solutions will require significant up-front investment and firms will need to demonstrate that this will create valuable business returns, especially in the trickier commercial conditions that are set to continue in 2017.
• A number of recent high-profile attacks on firms have encouraged supervisors to increase their focus on the cyber resilience of the financial sector. In 2017, supervisory expectations will evolve to include more detailed response planning for cyber breaches and clearer responsibilities among management and boards. Firms will increasingly use testing, war-gaming and red-team exercises to demonstrate the robustness of their resilience plans to public authorities.
Persistently low and volatile interest rates have also seen greater pressure on profitability, despite being a decade on since the origins of the financial crisis. Looking ahead, it is clear that many financial services firms must steer a course into 2017’s uncertain winds by taking decisive and, in some cases, bold actions to adapt to an increasingly challenging environment.

CW Benelux ezine February 2019
Dutch military intelligence has released a lot of details about the attempt to hack into the networks of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in The Hague. Four Russians intelligence officers were expelled from the Netherlands in relation to this.
The reason for the level of openness was to make it harder for Russian intelligence to operate internationally. Dutch minister of defence Ank Bijleveld said the hacking operation against the OPCW is unacceptable and by making things public, it is sending a clear message to Russia.
Also in this issue, find out how a Google-backed project in the Netherlands is supporting primary schools to teach computational thinking and programming. The DigiLeerKracht (DigiTeacher) training programme, which is run by the Dutch national expertise centre for girls and women in science and technology (VHTO), received a financial contribution of $500,000 from Google. Over 500 primary schools are taking part.
