Regulatory Reforms

This chapter examines the statutory framework for financial services regulation in the UK. The regulatory reforms that culminated in the break-up of the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and the return of regulatory responsibilities to the Bank of England have complicated but in many ways reinforced the original vision of a consolidated statutory framework for all financial services regulation under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA). The FSMA is undoubtedly more complicated because of the need to accommodate collaboration between the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Bank of England acting as Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA). The chapter provides an overview of the structure and statutory framework of the FSMA as well as the functions of the FCA and the PRA. It also considers the scope of financial services regulation under the FSMA and the confidentiality of information obtained by the FCA and the PRA in the discharge of their functions.
