The impact assessment of financial service providers (FSPs) is one of the main pillars of the Market Conduct Risk Based Supervision (MC-RBS) framework.

This guideline note will assist policymakers in developing impact assessment frameworks, under the MC-RBS umbrella and the overarching goals of financial consumer protection policy.
