Conor Sewell, former Treasury advisor now Forefront Advisers director, outlines what City bosses and their regulators should expect under Labour

Today’s guest discusses how he expects the Labour administration will prioritise a long list of pending financial services reforms inherited from the previous government.

He explains how such a reform programme could be interpreted to provide City bosses with the clarity they seek as to how the government will address perceived tensions between its planned pro-growth agenda and its commitments to better protect consumers.

And he outlines what upcoming and current pain points regulators and lawmakers must work to address now to avoid the risk of the UK falling behind.

Conor Sewell brings a useful perspective to all these topics having worked as an analyst for the Bank of England's Capital Markets Division, and as Senior Policy Advisor for the Treasury’s Financial Services Group. Since 2023, he has advised some of the world’s biggest financial services companies on policy, and politics as a director at political advisory group Forefront Advisers.
