The Financial Conduct Authority and Liechtenstein are aligning regulatory standards and improving processes for smaller firms. A summit was held on October 13, 2026, where Lucy Rigby, MP and economic secretary to the Treasury, stated confidence that the UK is on track for T+1 settlement. European markets will transition from T+2 to T+1 on October 11, 2027, across 27 EU member states, the UK, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Iceland, and Norway.
