Brexit signpost

In a statement following the Treasury’s announcement on amending financial services legislation, the FCA said is to be tasked with amending and maintaining EU rules that sit beneath EU directives.

In the run-up to the UK leaving the EU in March 2019, the FCA will limit Handbook changes that are unrelated to Brexit.
