Answer
We will leave the EU on 31 January with the same regulatory rulebook, including Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) II regulations on broker dealers, as the EU27. We have brought MiFID II regulations into UK law. Firms will be expected to comply with these UK regulations after the Implementation Period.
The UK is committed to building a strong and mutually beneficial future relationship on Financial Services with the EU after we leave.
