UK listing regime

This overview is a guide to the Financial Services UK listing regime subtopic, with links to appropriate materials.

The Official List

The Official List is a list of securities admitted to trading on a UK regulated market. The Official List is maintained by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as competent authority for the purposes of Part VI of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA 2000). In this capacity, the FCA was previously referred to as the UK Listing Authority, but has been phasing out use of this term since early 2017.

Reform of the UK listing regime

On 11 January 2024, the FCA published new UK Listing Rules which, effective from 29 July 2024, significantly reform and simplify the UK listing regime and introduce a single listing category for commercial companies (replacing the standard and premium listing categories). For more detailed information on the new regime and background to the reforms, see Practice Notes: Reform of the UK listing regime—fundamentals and UK Listing Review, respectively.
