Cross Sectoral Rules

Definition

Cross sectoral rules are regulations or guidelines that apply uniformly across multiple distinct industries or segments of an economy, rather than being specific to a single sector. In finance, these rules might address issues like anti-money laundering (AML) or data privacy, impacting traditional banking, fintech, and digital asset services alike. They aim to create a consistent regulatory landscape, preventing regulatory arbitrage and ensuring a level playing field. Such rules promote systemic stability and consumer protection.
