On April 19, 2018, the U.S. Treasury Department and HM Treasury issued a joint statement announcing the establishment of a Financial Regulatory Working Group. The Working Group will be a forum for treasury staff and financial regulatory authorities to exchange views on the regulatory relationship between the U.S. and the U.K. The objectives of the Working Group will be to further financial regulatory cooperation, improve transparency, reduce regulatory uncertainty, identify possible cross-border implementation issues, address regulatory arbitrage and work towards achieving compatibility of U.S. and U.K. laws and regulations.
