Employee counts, budgets, and supervised-entity numbers are drawn from each authority's most recent published annual report; values marked with a tilde (~) are rounded estimates. The Activity Index is ComplyBridge's proprietary, indicative composite measure of regulatory activity — see methodology. It is descriptive, not a quality judgment or a recommendation.

* Provisional score — pending harmonisation of supervision-specific staffing and supervised-entity reporting across authorities.

The parts you can't Google.

Approval times, success rates, responsiveness, common rejection reasons, market-entry difficulty — the intelligence a compliance officer actually wants when picking a jurisdiction. Compiled from real licensing work run through ComplyBridge, updated as new submissions land.
