UK PRA outlines supervisory priorities for 2026 – UK deposit takers and international banks

The UK Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) has published Dear CEO letters setting out its 2026 supervisory priorities for UK deposit takers and international banks and designated investment firms. Across both letters, the PRA highlights its continued focus and expectations across risk management, operational resilience, financial resilience and data governance. It states that these priorities should be considered alongside firm-specific feedback provided though a firm's recent periodic summary meeting (PSM). It also announced plans to move certain supervisory activity, including PSMs, to a two-year cycle. The letters explain that a firm's supervisory contact will provide details in due course of what this means for the timing of the firm's next PSM.
