The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced it’s establishing a presence in the United States and Asia-Pacific.
In the US, Tash Miah started in April at the British Embassy in Washington, DC. Miah will work closely with the Department for Business and Trade to advance UK-US financial services policy and regulatory cooperation, and support financial firms in the US to navigate UK regulation.
Based in Australia, Camille Blackburn will establish a regional office from July 2025 as the FCA’s director for Asia-Pacific (APAC). 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 for Supervision, Policy, Competition and International, said in a statement: “We recognize that major international investors want easier access to us, and having a presence in these key regions will help achieve that.”
