The UK FCA new five-year strategy

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published its new five-year strategy, focusing on the following key priorities with the stated objectives of deepening trust and rebalancing risk, to support growth and improve lives:

• to be a smarter regulator; predictable, purposeful and proportionate. The FCA will improve its processes and embrace technology to become more efficient and effective.
• to support sustained economic growth, by enabling investment, innovation and ensuring the continued competitiveness of the UK's world-leading financial services.
• to help consumers navigate their financial lives by working with industry to boost trust, product innovation and ensuring the right information and support is available for people to take financial decisions.
• to fight financial crime, focusing on those who seek to use the fact they are regulated to do harm. It will go further to disrupt criminals and support firms to be an effective line of defence.

Each priority is accompanied by intended markers of success by 2030.
