removing large sections which are not relevant to the vast majority of firms and

making others simpler. These changes would reduce the volume of legal text by 70%.

This is part of the FCA’s work to make sure its rulebook works better for the UK

market and to remove unnecessary burdens on firms, bolstering growth and

investment. It is part of the actions the FCA set out to support growth in its letter to

the Prime Minister.

The proposals are part of the FCA’s wider strategy to help support growth and

underpin the continued competitiveness of the UK’s world-leading financial services.

Now the FCA proposes removing the EU-derived rules and to make them clearer

and more accessible, reducing the time and resources firms spend interpreting and

applying the requirements.

The measures do not propose a change to the level of capital firms are required

to hold, and the FCA does not expect firms to change their capital arrangements as a

result.

Simon Walls, interim executive director of markets, said:

‘We are always trying to be a smarter regulator, and part of that agenda is
reducing unnecessary burdens on firms. The aim here is to make the rules around how

firms hold their capital simpler for the vast majority of firms.

‘We want the revised framework to be proportionate, effective, and aligned with

the needs of investment firms while maintaining high standards of financial resilience

and consumer protection.

‘Our proposals support the ambitions that we have set in our new strategy and in

the commitments we made to the Prime Minister to streamline regulation and reduce

regulatory burden while supporting the growth and competitiveness of the UK.’
