RPC opinion: impact of Financial Services and Markets Bill

HTML

Details

The aim of the Financial Services and Markets Bill is to modernise how the financial services sector is regulated.

The Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC) gave a ‘green’ rating to the impact assessment from HM Treasury on 27 May 2026. This means that we considered it to be ‘fit for purpose’ based on our scrutiny of the evidence and analysis supporting the case for why regulation is necessary.

The RPC’s opinion refers to the evidence and analysis presented in the impact assessment, not the policy itself.
