This edition of Financial IT is being published in the wake of the momentous referendum in the UK which – for now – appears likely to result in Brexit, the departure of that country from the European Union (EU).

Brexit will likely continue to dominate headlines in the mainstream media of Europe and some other parts of the world for months because of the massive uncertainty that it has generated. However, much of this edition of Financial IT is dedicated to a massive certainty that is coming from Europe (and North America): the relentless rise of regulation with which financial institutions will have to comply.
