The Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 (Capital Buffers and Macro-Prudential Measures) (Consequential Amendments) Regulations 2025

The draft UK Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 (Capital Buffers and Macro-prudential Measures) (Consequential Amendments) Regulations 2025 were laid before the UK parliament and have been published, alongside an explanatory memorandum. This draft instrument has made consequential amendments to legislation following the revocation of the Capital Requirements (Capital Buffers and Macro-prudential Measures) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/894), which have been replaced by the new Capital Buffers and Macro-prudential Measures Regulations 2025 (S.I. 2025/653), coming into force on 31 July. The amendments are intended to ensure consistency across the legislative framework and to support the continued effective operation of the capital buffer regime. Specifically, the amendments made by this instrument includes replacing citations to the 2014 Capital Buffers Regulations with references to the new Capital Buffers and Macro-prudential Measures Regulations. It also removes references to provisions in the 2014 Regulations that are not being carried forward, such as those relating to the Global Systemically Important Institutions buffer, which are no longer applicable under the revised framework.
