Nikhil Rathi has been reappointed for another five-year term as head of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), marking the first time a leader has received a second term since its creation in 2013.

Rathi’s leadership aligns with the UK government’s push for enhanced competitiveness, despite facing criticism over FCA’s handling of financial complaints and regulatory enforcement.
