Welcome to the latest edition of Horizons from KPMG's EMA Financial Services Risk & Regulatory Insight Centre (RRIC).

In this edition, we focus on:

• The regulatory outlook for financial services firms in 2019 and beyond – who and what will be driving the regulatory agenda and how might rules and supervisory priorities develop? We identify seven challenges for 2019 and beyond.
• The FSB’s evolving focus – ten years on from the financial crisis and with a new chair, how might the FSB’s evolving focus influence future regulation?
• Bank and insurance stress tests results – the latest bank and insurance stress tests from the European Banking Authority (EBA), Bank of England, and European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) garnered mostly positive results. 
• The increasing pressure on regulators to assist governments in meeting climate change commitments with sustainable finance, potential ESG requirements for banks, and stress testing by banks and insurers.
