We are setting out the planned regulatory initiatives for the next 24 months.
October 2024 update:
Following the announcement of the General Election on 4 July 2024 the eighth edition of the Grid was delayed.
The Financial Services Regulatory Initiatives Forum acknowledges that the Grid is a valuable tool for stakeholders. As the Forum is unable to publish a complete Grid this year, an interim update has been made available.
The Grid will return to its usual format in 2025.

This Grid from the Financial Services Regulatory Initiatives Forum sets out the regulatory pipeline. This is so the financial services industry and other stakeholders can understand – and plan for – the timing of the initiatives that may have a significant operational impact on them.
We have also published the Grid in the form of an interactive dashboard and an Excel spreadsheet to help users interact with the underlying data.
The Financial Services Regulatory Initiatives Forum
This Forum was launched to further strengthen coordination between members. It is made up of representatives of:
- Bank of England (BoE)
- Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)
- Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
- Financial Reporting Council (FRC)
- HM Treasury (HMT) (Observer member)
- Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)
- Payment Systems Regulator (PSR)
- Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA)
- The Pensions Regulator (TPR)
The FCA and BoE/PRA co-chair the Forum. See the Forum’s Terms of Reference.
Updating the Grid
We publish the Grid twice a year to help manage the operational impact on firms of implementing initiatives from the Forum members. It also helps firms and other stakeholders plan for forthcoming initiatives. The Grid provides detail on the timing of initiatives over a 24-month horizon and highlights key examples of closely interconnected initiatives to help stakeholders easily identify these.
