FCA speech – cautious optimism for the post-pandemic world

Link(s): https://www.fca.org.uk/news/speeches/cautious-optimism-post-pandemic-world

Context

Charles Randell, Chair of the FCA and PSR (Payment Systems Regulator), gave a speech to the Finance & Leasing Association.

Key points to note

  • In his speech Charles Randell noted that:
    • To be effective in the new world of financial services which Coronavirus has brought forward, the FCA must enforce the gateway to authorisation; focus on the basics; focus on outcomes; and use the rulebook better and faster
    • The FCA must reshape itself, and that this transformation is under way
    • To make the transformation last, the FCA must state clearly the outcomes it wants, measure these outcomes and be transparent about whether they have been achieved
