The FCA has welcomed the UK government’s recently issued statement on the completion of the criminal market abuse regime review.
The government is considering how to move forward with recommendations for strengthening the regime, as part of the Future Regulatory Review programme.
The FCA has stressed that raising standards across the firms it regulates is one of its key priorities. It said that market abuse harms confidence and integrity and hinders its work on building market excellence throughout the UK financial system.
