In a speech in Normandy, ECB President Christine Lagarde tied regional economic strengths to three EU policy priorities: completing the Single Market for services and capital, building energy grid interconnections by 2030, and reducing reliance on non-European payment providers through the digital euro. The speech creates no binding obligations. It does signal the ECB's policy direction on capital markets integration, payments sovereignty, and inflation targeting, which compliance teams should factor into planning.

The Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet) has published a warning about pendoxa.com, a website that France's Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) lists on its blacklist as an impersonation (usurpation) scheme. Compliance teams should treat the domain as a fraud indicator and update screening controls and customer-facing alerts accordingly.

In a September 12, 2026 interview, ECB President Christine Lagarde said the ECB raised key interest rates because euro area inflation (3.3%) is well above the 2% target and energy-driven price pressure is expected to last longer than anticipated. She also flagged elevated AI-sector asset valuations, rising sovereign borrowing costs, and the legal and financial dangers of cancelling central bank-held debt. Compliance and risk teams should treat this as a signal of tighter rates, market volatility, and continued supervisory focus on financial sector resilience.

Finanstilsynet (Norway FSA) has published a warning about the website axoni.tech, which the French AMF has listed on its blacklist of unauthorized crypto-asset derivatives websites. Compliance teams should treat the entity as a high-risk, unauthorized counterparty and update screening and customer-protection controls accordingly.

The Norway Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet) has published a warning about couponeau.co, a website previously added to the French AMF's crypto-currency blacklist.

The Norway Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet) has published a warning about the website cronetrium-system-fr.com, which was originally flagged by France's Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) on its crypto-currency blacklist. Compliance teams should treat the domain as a suspected unauthorized or fraudulent crypto-related operation and update screening and customer-protection controls accordingly.

The FCA has released its fourth annual general insurance value measures dataset (January to December 2025). It shows persistently high claims complaint rates and low acceptance rates in home insurance, plus sharply rising travel claims costs. The FCA will use the data to focus supervision, so firms with significant or recurring outlier indicators should expect greater scrutiny under PROD 4 and the Consumer Duty.
