Launching the Geopolitical Risk Regulatory Tracker - April 2026 (updated)
The noises from global financial regulators on geopolitics are getting louder and clearer: they demand more from businesses to show how they proactively protecting themselves and their customers from the impacts of war, supply chain disruptions, cyberattacks, energy insecurity, and more.
There are dozens of regulators, all moving at different speeds and tracking what they’re doing and where new requirements may be on the horizon can be daunting for risk, compliance, legal, government affairs, resilience security leaders. In the last few months alone:
Australia’s APRA has launched a full-bore works programme, linked up with their operational resilience uplift (CPS 230)
The UK’s PRA is planning to include geopolitical risk as a key area of focus for its 2026-2027 agenda, alongside climate risk modelling and risks to private credit markets.
The ECB is planning to conduct a reverse stress test on 110 major banks this year, where it sets a defined geopolitical risk outcome and challenges banks to define scenarios and conditions where that outcome may materialise.
The Geopolitical Risk Regulatory Tracker, updated monthly, does just this. It provides:
A description of how 22 major financial regulators are approaching geopolitical risk (or not)
Their stages of developing guidance, policy and enforcement mechanisms
A scoring on the criticality of needing to address a regulator’s needs
A monthly recap of any noteworthy changes to their positions
A deeper case study into the EU’s DORA and how it is hardwired to address geopolitical risks
