Meeting The Challenge In Our Changing Global Markets - Speech By Sarah Pritchard, UK Financial Conduct Authority, Executive Director Of Markets, And Executive Director Of International, At The UK Finance And EY: Capital Markets Insights Launch Conference

Date 16/05/2023

Highlights

• The UK must not be shy about highlighting its strengths as a full service, global wholesale market with a deep and broad base of expertise. For this to remain the case, we must continue to evolve.
• Following recent proposals to reform listing requirements, we will shortly be considering what if any reforms we should make to prospectus rules.
• We will be thinking about how forward-looking information should be covered in prospectuses, how to approach setting requirements for issuers seeking to admit securities to junior markets, and what rules we should set for firms that choose to operate a public offer platform to allow companies to raise capital from investors without being admitted to a public market.
• We will play our part to drive productivity by improving our own operational efficiency, making proportionate regulation, and increasing trust, effective competition and innovation in stable and international markets.
