The Securities and Exchange Commission is holding its third and final outreach event to help firms comply with amendments to Regulation S-P. This hybrid event is geared toward small firms, whose compliance date is upcoming on June 3.
Please register in advance for in-person attendance. For online attendance, advance registration is preferred but not required. The livestream will be available on this page on the day of the event. Questions may be submitted in advance on the registration page.
These Regulation S-P compliance outreach events have been tailored for each registrant type and scheduled according to their corresponding compliance deadline as published in the Regulation S-P rule amendments.
Staff from the Division of Examinations, Division of Investment Management, and Division of Trading and Markets will cover the new Regulation S-P compliance obligations, discuss what to expect when interacting with an exam team during an examination, and answer any remaining compliance questions. The event also will include a workshop where examination staff will engage in an Incident Response tabletop discussion, review a sample document request list, and demonstrate a mock examination session.
Panel A: Historical discussion of Regulation S-P and the rule’s new provisions
This panel will discuss the history of the regulation, including an overview of core aspects of the regulatory framework and discussion of past risk alerts on the subject. The panel will also discuss the rule amendments, which entities are subject to the Regulation S-P Amendments, incident response program expectations, and SEC perspectives on the monitoring process. There will also be a discussion on the expected format and production requirements for notices to customers by the entities.
Panel B: Exams’ approach moving forward, including a discussion of potential Risk Alerts and other SEC publications
This panel will provide SEC perspectives on the examination lifecycle for entities subject to Regulation S-P, including the expected maintenance and production of certain policies, procedures, books, and records.
Panel C: Examination Workshop
Examination staff will engage in an incident response tabletop discussion, review a sample document request list, and demonstrate a mock examination session.
Q&A
The panelists will answer pre-submitted and live audience questions.

This paper examines EU global value-chain (GVC) integration and analyzes its drivers using machine learning models, with case studies of Portugal and Belgium. GVC participation appears to boost productivity and technology upgrading, but also brings concentration risks in the current environment. Results indicate labor cost, labor productivity and human capital as key drivers, supported by infrastructure, manufacturing base, and governance quality. Portugal remains downstream, constrained by low high-tech intensity, while Belgium is highly integrated but exposed to sectoral shocks. Strengthening the EU single market, capital-market integration, and individual countries’ investment in skills, innovation, and diversification would bolster resilience while preserving the benefits of openness.

This paper examines how productivity dynamics and, as a consequence, potential output, are affected by energy price shocks. We do this through the lens of a model of endogenous technical change where firms adjust their investment in non-energy productivity and energy productivity in reaction to the economic environment. Higher energy prices prompt a shift in investment from enhancing non-energy (capital and labor) productivity to improving energy efficiency. The resulting gains in energy efficiency act as an important macroeconomic buffer, but cannot fully offset the adverse input price effect and the transitional cost of shifting investment away from non-energy productivity. We thus find that the change in European energy prices following the 2022 shock reduces the level of euro area potential GDP by 0.8 percent by 2027. The impact on potential growth is temporary, and will have dissipated by that time. Energy efficiency itself is projected to rise by about three percent, offering a silver lining to the crisis. We estimate that the output effect would have been around two-thirds larger had energy efficiency not cushioned the impact of the price shock.
