FCA publishes findings from the Ageing Population Project
September 21, 2017--The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has today published an Occasional Paper outlining the findings from a project that explored how the ageing population would impact the Financial Services industry.

The paper reviews the public policy implications of having a population which is getting older and the resulting impact on financial services. The document also includes actions which the FCA and industry could take to better support older people.

State of the Union 2017-Cybersecurity: Commission scales up EU's response to cyber-attacks
September 19, 2017--On 13 September, in his annual State of the Union Address, President Jean-Claude Juncker stated: "In the past three years, we have made progress in keeping Europeans safe online. But Europe is still not well equipped when it comes to cyber-attacks. This is why, today, the Commission is proposing new tools, including a European Cybersecurity Agency, to help defend us against such attacks."
Europeans place great trust in digital technologies. They open up new opportunities for citizens to connect, facilitate the dissemination of information and form the backbone of Europe's economy. However, they have also brought about new risks as non-state and state actors increasingly try to steal data, commit fraud or even destabilise governments.
