INFORMATION on Financial Services in the European Union after United Kingdom leaves
Even if the European Union and the United Kingdom conclude a highly ambitious partnership covering all areas agreed in the Political Declaration by the end of 2020, the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU acquis, the internal market and the Customs Union, at the end of the transition period will inevitably create barriers to trade and cross-border exchanges that do not exist today.
There will be broad and far-reaching consequences for public administrations, businesses and citizens as of 1 January 2021, regardless of the outcome of negotiations. These changes are unavoidable and stakeholders must make sure they are ready for them.

Meeting with Central Bank of Lithuania (Lietuvos bankas) on RegTech initiative
Topics: RegTech, Compliance, Reporting, Supervision
Date: April 5, 2019
Place: Lietuvos bankas, Gedimino pr. 6, Vilnius
Meeting Minutes:
The Bank of Lithuania is investigating RegTech opportunities to lower the load of compliance for market participants, i.e. financial institutions. They would like to ask our association members for any feedback and ideas.
There are 2 examples - Austria and Australia – where central banks have already diminished reporting needs to nearly zero by acquiring raw data (not necessary all data) with financial institutions. It is done automatically via APIs either through push (FIs give their data) or pull (CB takes all data) methods.
Now the Bank of Lithuania is looking for a few volunteers to try to develop similar solution (we agreed that it would be easier to start with transaction data since it is usually within same format in all financial institutions, KYC data is a different story). This may require some IT resources dedicated from the volunteers, however, can yield high returns in the future if it actually works. Any other ideas and suggestions are also welcome.
Thank you for your feedback and participation.
