Revealed: The draft outline for a Brexit deal on financial services

The two sides are expected to agree to terms for future financial services interaction based on an existing framework between the EU and the US

Talks between European and UK officials on the post-Brexit framework for financial services are expected include an agreement for regulators on both sides to meet regularly to discuss future rule-making and share information, according to people with knowledge of the talks.

An outline of the agreement, seen by Financial News, includes a commitment to conduct "informal consultations concerning decisions to adopt, suspend, or withdraw equivalence" — the EU regulators’ process for granting market access to UK firms if the country’s financial rules are deemed similar to its own.
