The Panel has identified a number of strategic priorities.
The Panel’s priorities for 2025–26 were set out in its published letter[1] on 27 May 2025, encompassing the following:
• Promoting the UK’s capital formation, by focusing on reforms that promote the UK’s global competitiveness and enable firms to get to market more quickly (perhaps even considering capital formation and competitiveness actively within rule making, pending agreement with HMT);
• Striking the right balance with regards to risk (e.g., with regards to the redress system, financial promotion rules, or regulated activities perimeter), and establishing metrics that would define what success entails; and
• Using the Panel as a sounding board on potential reforms (such as securitisation markets, evolution of schemes to support a rebalancing of risks, or developing metrics for such risk rebalance) – MPP hope and would like to make a contribution going forward.
For 2026–27, the Panel will continue to prioritise these same areas and, in addition, place increased emphasis on the digital and AI agenda:
- Ensuring the UK keeps pace with developments in technology, including tokenisation, digital assets and artificial intelligence, maintaining competitiveness relative to other jurisdictions.
