Five year strategy - March 2025
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published its five year strategy highlighting the regulator’s priorities:
- Becoming a smarter, more efficient regulator

Consumer Duty is noted as integral to how regulated financial firms treat their customers and is expected to facilitate increased consumer confidence when seeking products and services that meet their needs and match their capacity for risk.
Other areas of focus include a commitment to rebalancing regulatory, market and consumer risk and the role of the FCA within the international market.
