Financial services regulation in 2022: Bridging the gaps

In this article – “Financial services regulation in 2022: Bridging the gaps” – we take a look at how regulators fleshed out details around the major developments in the Canadian financial services space over the past several years and worked towards operationalizing new systems and frameworks. This included payments modernization initiatives; new anti-money laundering measures initially introduced as a response to the protests and blockades in Ottawa early in the year; the long-awaited introduction of open banking; increased inter-regulatory cooperation on cryptoassets; and developments in financial title regulation across the country.
