Jon Relleen

Director of Infrastructure & Exchanges, Supervision, Policy & Competition Financial Conduct Authority 

As Director of Infrastructure and Exchanges at the Financial Conduct Authority I cover significant aspects of the UK’s financial markets. This includes supervision, policy and competition issues with respect to trading venues and the functioning of wholesale capital markets. To support our supervision and policy work we also conduct market analysis and research, including via use of regulatory data. In addition I am part of the FCA’s senior leadership team; helping to set strategy, deliver outcomes and convey the work we are doing externally. Before joining the FCA in December 2022, I spent 24 years at the Bank of England. My career at the Bank spanned monetary policy, financial stability and market operations. I worked across a wide range of different topics, but a common thread was economic and regulatory policy work related to financial markets. My expertise straddles, macroeconomics and finance as well as practical knowledge of capital markets, investment institutions and central bank operations.
