United Kingdom

No material FCA, Bank of England or PRA items in the last 24 hours. The next MPC decision remains 17 September; CP26/30 and CP26/31 stay open for comment through 16 October, unchanged.

National & exchanges

No material items from BaFin/Deutsche Börse, AMF/Euronext, Consob/Borsa Italiana, CNMV/BME, AFM, SIX or Nasdaq Nordic in the last 24 hours; nothing rising to market-structure or regulatory significance. Deutsche Börse issued a routine Xetra participant circular (036/2026) on 25 August introducing a new PKI/certificate authority for T7 connectivity — an operational security update, not a rules or policy change, so not reported as a substantive item. No national central bank (SNB, Riksbank, Norges Bank, Danmarks Nationalbank) meetings until September.
