Following Brexit and the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, the FPC will assess the implications of any firms’ actions on financial stability, working alongside the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority.

“Over a longer horizon, the FPC is alert to the potential for greater complexity in firms’ business structures to reduce the resilience of the UK financial system and is examining appropriate mitigation.”
