To kick off the month of May, there has been no shortage of developments demanding our attention in the financial services and regulatory realms. At the same time, we see certain key themes and topics – such as ESG and crypto – appearing in new places and as part of evolving conversations. Our "Take Five" coverage includes the SEC’s recent move to bolster investor protection in crypto markets, the banking agencies coming back together to issue a CRA proposal, and the launch of the UK Transition Plan Taskforce, in support of climate transition plans.

For our “In Depth” article, we provide an update on Russia sanctions-related developments, including proposed legislative changes to streamline the forfeiture of sanctioned assets. 

What do you think about this week’s topics and Cabinet News and Views in general? We’d love to hear from you. Just write to us here.
