On May 19, 2026, the Financial Services Regulatory Initiatives Forum published the tenth edition of the Regulatory Initiatives Grid (the Grid), a biannual publication outlining the regulatory pipeline for the financial services sector. The Grid enables the financial services industry and stakeholders to understand and plan for the timing of regulatory initiatives that may have significant operational impact. The Forum, established in 2020 to strengthen coordination between regulatory bodies, comprises the Bank of England (including the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA)), Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Payment Systems Regulator (PSR), Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), Financial Reporting Council (FRC), The Pensions Regulator (TPR), and Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), with HM Treasury attending as an observer member. The Grid contains initiatives designed to strengthen the foundations for growth by ensuring financial stability, while also supporting increased competition, facilitating innovation, boosting consumer confidence and trust, and supporting investment. Forum members continue to support the Government's growth agenda and advance their individual objectives, consistent with the Government's recent financial services reforms, including the Financial Services Bill, which supports sector growth. The Forum continues to work collaboratively to streamline regulatory initiatives and minimise duplicative requests from industry. This collaborative approach is evident in focused areas such as the Payments Forward Plan produced by the Payments Vision Delivery Committee and the oversight of pension reform by the Pensions Reform Steering Group. The regulators remain committed to working together to deliver proportionate and effective regulation, support growth, and strengthen the UK as a world-leading financial centre. The Grid is available on the Bank of England website.
