After Twin Peaks: A Caribbean Capital Market Worthy of International Capital

May 4, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Eleven articles have set out the case for Twin Peaks, the international evidence base, the legislative reform package, and the operational readiness work the next twelve months require. This closing article steps back and addresses the question that gives the transition its meaning: what is all of this for. The answer cannot be the cutover...

Boardroom Readiness for Twin Peaks: Twelve Months to Build What the New Regime Will Require

May 4, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The shape of the work The boardroom readiness work for Twin Peaks divides into five categories. Each category contains several sub-streams.

A board that prioritises governance and defers supervisory engagement will discover during the first post-cutover supervisory...

May 3, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

Why these three jurisdictions matter The two case studies that have already been examined in this series — Australia and the United Kingdom — are the headline references in international Twin Peaks literature.

The United Kingdom: From the FSA to the PRA and FCA — A Model in Continuous Reform

May 3, 2026by Dr Dawkins Brown

The United Kingdom adopted Twin Peaks in 2013 because its previous regulator had failed during the global financial crisis. Thirteen years later, the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority operate the most actively reforming Twin Peaks regime in the world — pioneering outcomes-based conduct supervision through the Consumer Duty, embedding individual accountability through...

Australia: Twenty-Five Years of Twin Peaks — What Worked, and What Didn’t.
