Yet, despite the unprecedent impact on our day to day lives, life (and regulatory challenges) go on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this issue of RegWatch, we review the COVID-19 response from regulators and what this means for firms.

We explore some of the challenges firms should consider, to ensure they are prepared for the coming weeks and months, as well as any retrospective regulatory scrutiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, a snapshot from EROS \u2013 our regulatory horizon scanning tool \u2013 is appended, setting out the regulatory news; in a departure from our usual approach, we have only included news from the past three weeks.
