Under its new 2025–2030 strategy, the Financial Conduct Authority has announced it is establishing a presence in the United States and Asia-Pacific for the first time, positioning staff in key regions to support cross-border regulatory engagement and firms’ navigation of UK rules. In Washington, DC, Tash Miah has taken up a post at the British Embassy and will work with the Department for Business and Trade to advance UK–US financial services policy and regulatory cooperation, alongside supporting US-based firms engaging with UK regulation. In Asia-Pacific, Camille Blackburn will establish a regional office from July 2025 as the FCA’s Director, Asia-Pacific, with a remit that includes helping APAC firms enter the UK market or raise capital and supporting UK firms expanding into the region; the FCA linked the move to its growth commitments on exports and inward investment set out in its letter to the Prime Minister. Blackburn, currently the FCA’s Director of Wholesale Buyside, is due to start the new role in July 2025, while Miah moved into the Washington role after working in the FCA’s international division covering non-bank financial intermediation and leading the financial stability engagement group.
