Draft Credit Institutions and Investment Firms (Miscellaneous Definitions) (Amendment) Regulations 2026

The draft Credit Institutions and Investment Firms (Miscellaneous Definitions) (Amendment) Regulations 2026 were laid before the UK Parliament and published with a draft explanatory memorandum. This follows HM Treasury's policy response on applying the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 model of regulation to the UK Capital Requirements Regulation (UK CRR). The Regulations restate in legislation, with effect from 1 January 2027, the definitions previously contained in Articles 4, 4A, 4B and 5 of the UK CRR, which were revoked by virtue of section 1(1) of, and Schedule 1 to, the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023. Article 4 of the UK CRR will be revoked on 1 January 2027, together with other articles containing definitions relating to the UK banking prudential framework. The relevant legislation revoking these articles was published in February 2026.
