Regulatory Focus is going on Holiday and will not publish between 20 December 2014 and 5 January 2014. We look forward to again providing you with regulatory news, analysis and intelligence in the new year.
Before we go, we just have one thing to say: Thank you.
Thank you for your continued readership and insights. Focus would be nothing without its readers, and your tips and help have allowed us grow, improve and continue to provide valuable content to regulatory professionals (and others) around the world.
We're also incredibly grateful this year to be read by more of you than ever before. In 2014, more than 500,000 of you visited Regulatory Focus, loading up Focus pages and articles more than 1.4 million times. Incredibly, Regulatory Recon—our morning news roundup—was read almost 300,000 times this year, and is now read more than 1,500 times per day on average.
Thank you for your continued readership and insights, and we'll see you again in 2015.
