FCA welcomes the final report of the Accelerated Settlement Taskforce and supports the UK market’s move to T+1 settlement

The Accelerated Settlement Taskforce report provides a set of recommendations for the UK to move to a T+1 settlement cycle by 11 October 2027. 

On 6 February 2025, the Accelerated Settlement Taskforce published its final report recommending a detailed implementation plan for the UK to move to a T+1 standard for settling securities trades. 

We have welcomed the recommendations, alongside the government and Bank of England. We support the transition to T+1 settlement in UK markets and call on industry to engage and start planning as soon as possible. 

FCA chief executive, Nikhil Rathi, said:

'We highlighted how the move to T+1 will make our markets more efficient and support growth in our recent letter to the Prime Minister. We will support industry as they move to T+1 and expect firms to engage and plan early.'
