FCA establishes presence in the US and Asia-Pacific

Under its new strategy, the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has announced it is establishing a presence in the United States (US) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) for the first time. Based in Australia, Camille Blackburn will establish a regional office from July 2025 as the FCA’s director – Asia-Pacific. The role will focus on supporting financial services firms to navigate regulation to enter the UK market or raise capital and provide UK firms with support expanding into the APAC region. 

Sarah Pritchard, executive director, supervision, policy, competition and international, said, ‘The UK is a global hub for financial services. We are committed to continuing to build our global network and international reputation.’
