FCA unveils plans for a Consolidated Tape

The FCA set out its proposals for a UK Consolidated Tape (CT) on 5 July 2023. The consultation outlines a proposed framework for a CT for bonds, and invites feedback on the criteria for how a CT would operate, the economic model of the regime, and the tender process for appointing a Consolidated Tape Provider.

The FCA is also seeking input on the design of a CT framework for equities, which will be established over a longer timeline.
