Treasury committee chairman Andrew Tyrie has warned the FCA and the Bank of England are facing “overload” and says regulators could be powerless in preventing the next financial crisis.
Speaking during a debate on the Financial Services Bill on Monday, Tyrie said the Government’s legislative agenda – including the pension freedoms and the introduction of the senior managers regime next month – is placing “huge demands” on both the Bank and the FCA.
He said: “We may be close to the point of regulatory and supervisory overload. By that, I mean that the Government and Parliament could be raising expectations of what they can achieve to a point where they will never be perceived to have succeeded.
“We need to ask just how much national regulation can achieve in an open financial world. The truth is: perhaps not that much, and certainly less than many people think.”...........................
