This will allow the FCA to offer services like helping firms navigate U.K. regulations to enter the U.K. market or raise capital. This is also the first time the FCA has established regional offices like these, and it is part of the regulator’s efforts to improve exports and inward investment in the U.K.
“These appointments will help us deliver on our mission to support growth through the export of U.K. financial services and attracting more inward investment to our shores,” Pritchard said in the release. “We recognize that major international investors want easier access to us, and having a presence in these key regions will help achieve that.”
