• Introduction of the SDDT banking framework and its operational implications
• Technical updates to regulatory reporting taxonomy and validation rules

Episode Highlights:
 Steve Nagle: "The SDDT doesn't kick in till January 27th. So it is that year interim capital regime option... if companies want to opt into the SDDT regime, then for that year, they can also opt to go into the interim capital regime as well."

Andrew Sylvester: "The PRA have removed the 100 percent risk weight floor for regulatory commercial real estate exposures to corporates, including SMEs, where repayment is not materially dependent on cash flows from the property."
