The UK Government’s growth agenda aims to reduce unnecessary friction in the regulatory system. Its Regulation Action Plan, published in March 2025, laid out cross economy reforms to ensure that regulation enables innovation while maintaining accountability. The Treasury's July 2025 Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy applied this blueprint to financial services. It drives a shift in regulatory philosophy, putting regulators under pressure to streamline rules and demonstrate measurable support for sector growth.
With the PRA having just announced its supervisory priorities for 2026, it is timely to give an overview of the evolving regulatory landscape for the UK insurance sector.
In our annual regulatory preview, we explore a number of changes that align with the UK Government's ongoing commitment to fostering growth and competitiveness, together with other aspects of regulation that are likely to remain high on firms' agendas.
