Global rules on foreign direct investment (FDI)
Cross-border acquisitions and investments increasingly trigger foreign direct investment (FDI) screening requirements.
United States | Publication | October 2022
Noting that ransomware incidents have become increasingly prevalent in the financial services sector, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) today released an update to its Cybersecurity Resource Guide for Financial Institutions (the Guide)—a publication that was last updated in October 2018. View a copy of the updated Guide.
The FFIEC points out that the Guide is designed to support financial sector resilience, that FFIEC members do not endorse the listed organizations and that use of any of the listed resources is voluntary on the part of regulated financial services institutions. However, the newly released edition of the Guide is substantially lengthier than the version published in 2018, and the inclusion of a section on ransomware that lists several self-assessment tools indicates that this is likely to be an area of concern for examiners in upcoming review cycles. In addition to listing ransomware resources, the Guide also lists additional resources available in areas such as assessments, information sharing and incident reporting.

On February 2, 2024, the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union confirmed that the Committee of Permanent Representatives had signed the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Regulation, referred to as the AI Act. Approval by the EU Parliament followed on 13 March 2024, and the AI Act is likely to appear in the EU’s Official Journal around May 2024. The AI Act aims to establish a stringent legal framework governing the development, marketing, and utilisation of artificial intelligence within the region, thereby marking a significant advancement in the regulation of this burgeoning domain.
