Supporting Consumers Through Tough Times – Priorities For Credit Regulation - Speech By Brian Corr, FCA Interim Director Of Retail Lending At The FCA, Delivered At Credit Summit 2022, On 23 March 2022

Date 23/03/2022

Highlights

• Consumers are facing increasing financial pressure – credit matters greatly for consumers and can help them to cope, but also has significant potential for harm
• We’re focusing closely on delivering the right outcomes for consumers who use credit products, and we want firms to do the same – the new Consumer Duty will play a big part in this
• Ensuring that borrowers get the right help and support from their providers when they get into financial difficulty remains a key priority, as it’s likely more people will need it
• We’re also looking at how to help people with limited borrowing options, without reducing protection from unaffordable lending and other types of harm
