BoE: Proposals for a matching adjustment investment accelerator look to reduce barriers to rapid investment by insurance firms
BoE: Prudential regulation authority launches consultation to help insurers accelerate investment in the UK

The UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is considering tailored regulations for investment firms as part of a broader initiative to simplify rules for alternative investment fund managers. This move follows a consultation launched by the UK government aimed at easing regulations that were established during the country’s EU membership. The FCA's new work program emphasizes support for innovative products and new firms. Concurrently, the Bank of England's Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) has initiated a consultation to facilitate faster investment decisions by insurers, proposing a matching adjustment investment accelerator to reduce barriers to rapid investment. PRA's Sam Woods noted that this innovation is expected to enable insurers to make quicker investment decisions, thereby supporting growth in the UK economy.
