the Nordic banking crisis, the Asian financial crisis, the GFC/Euro area crisis), and numerous standalone crises in transition
and low-income economies. For each crisis, NPLs are reported over an 11-year long window that starts three years before
the crisis and extends to seven years afterwards.

“FCA expectations for wet-ink signatures in light of coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions”, Financial Conduct Authority, April 20,
2020, https://www.fca.org.uk/news/statements/expectations-wet-ink-signatures-coronavirus-restrictions
3The FCA has set out its expectations of firms when dealing with the need for 'wet-ink' signatures (i.e. signing a document
by hand using a pen). The FCA rules do not explicitly require wet-ink signatures in agreements, nor do they prevent firms
from using electronic signatures in agreements. The validity of electronic signatures is a matter of law. Firms should
consider the legal position themselves because the FCA cannot give legal advice. Firms must also consider any related
requirements set out in the FCA's Principles for Businesses and general rules. For example:
Firms should consider Principles 2, 3 and 6 and review the risks and harms of using electronic signatures, and take
appropriate steps to minimize those.
Firms should consider the client’s best interests rule (COBS 2.1.1R) and the fair, clear and not misleading rule (COBS
4.2.1R) to ensure that, when a client signs a document electronically, this does not make it more difficult for the client
to understand what they are agreeing to.
2020/04/21 FCA Primary Market Bulletin No. 27 – Update #27

Ongoing disclosure under the Market Abuse Regulation
Market volatility and suspension of trading
The importance of transaction notifications
Delays in corporate reporting
Shareholder meetings; and
Corporate transactions and admissions
The FCA has updated the Shareholder meetings and Corporate transactions and admission sections of the bulletin to take
account of the FCA Statement of Policy8 of 8 April 2020 and accompanying Technical Supplements.

2020/04/17 Competition law to be relaxed to allow dairy industry to work together11
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural
Affairs (Defra) announced that elements of competition law will be suspended temporarily to support the dairy industry
during the 2019 novel coronavirus disease outbreak (COVID-19). As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak there have been
changes in the dairy supply chain, including decreased demand from the hospitality sector and reduced collection by
retailers who have had to close. Legislation will be laid shortly to allow the dairy industry to adapt to work together to
address current market challenges, so avoiding waste and maintaining productive capacity to meet future demand.
20/04/2020 Coronavirus (COVID-19)—Is it possible to extend the Brexit transition period? (LexisPSL)12
Public Law analysis: The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has had an impact on the negotiations between the UK and the
EU. This has led some to consider the desirability of an extension to the Brexit transition period. The Government has
repeatedly stated that it does not intend to request any extension. In this analysis, Graeme Cowie at the House of
Commons Library sets out the legal and procedural hurdles—both in the Withdrawal Agreement (WA) and in UK domestic
law—to any extension of the UK’s post-Brexit transition period with the EU.
2020/04/17 Debt service repayments temporarily suspended amid coronavirus (COVID-19)13
UK Export Finance (UKEF) has issued guidance for UK creditors on the temporary suspension of debt service repayments.

assist eligible developing countries which request forbearance to respond to the financing needs arising from the
coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. For the UK, this applies to debt rescheduled through the Paris Club or bilaterally up to
24 March 2020. At present however, it does not apply to uncalled guarantees subsisting at any time.
