<p>The Treasury sets the legal framework for the regulation of financial services.
The financial services industry is primarily regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority
(FCA) and Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), which are independent regulatory
bodies, given statutory powers by the Financial Services and Markets Act (2000). Trade
associations, namely bodies that represent businesses within a specific industry,
do not carry out legislative regulatory functions for financial services.</p><p> </p>
