The FCA Business Plan: continuity and change

Unsurprisingly, the United Kingdom’s parting of ways from the European Union featured prominently in the Financial Conduct Authority’s annual Business Plan released in April.

“I am regularly asked whether the FCA has enough resource and enough involvement” on Brexit, commented chairman John Griffith-Jones. “On the former, our planning includes the mindset of doing whatever is needed to fulfil the duties required of us as the process becomes clear. On the latter, we are already making our considerable technical knowledge available to the Government, and we will continue to do so throughout the process.”
