Over the past 24 hours, coinciding with her Mansion House speech, Chancellor Rachel Reeves has announced at least 12 significant financial services reforms.

Her aim is to cut back on excessive and unnecessary regulation and drive growth in financial services.

She wants the regulators to do more to promote growth in the sector while retaining consumer protections.

She has already announced pension megafunds this week, aimed at 'unlocking' £80bn of investment by merging Local Government Pension Scheme assets and consolidate defined contribution schemes into megafunds.

Here’s a summary of the 12 new reforms on the way with links to relevant Treasury documents.
