HM Treasury publishes first formal performance review meetings with PRA and FCA
HM Treasury has published minutes of the first formal performance review meetings between the Economic Secretary to the Treasury, Emma Reynolds, and the chief executives of the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), held on 17 July 2025 and 21 July 2025 respectively. The meetings follow the Chancellor's Regulation Action Plan commitment in March 2025 to formalise performance reviews of regulators by their sponsoring government departments. The reviews covered the regulators' performance against statutory objectives and government economic policy, including progress on secondary international competitiveness and growth objectives, the government's target to reduce administrative costs for businesses by 25% by the end of Parliament, and implementation of the Leeds Reforms including the new joint Scale-Up Unit.
