Unlocking Strategic Insights: Key Messaging from the Critical Third Parties (CTP) Regime

On March 21, 2024, HM Treasury (HMT) introduced a Policy Paper outlining its strategy for designating Critical Third Parties (CTPs) in the UK's financial services sector. This initiative addresses concerns about the sector's growing reliance on external third parties, which poses risks to systemic stability.

The UK financial sector is intricate, with firms and financial market infrastructure firms (FMIs) increasingly depending on third-party services like cloud computing and data analytics for operational support. These technological services offer various advantages, including facilitating digital transformation, driving innovation, and enhancing operational resilience.

The implementation of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 (FSMA 2023) grants the HM Treasury (HMT) the authority to designate Critical Technology Providers, while regulatory bodies like the Bank of England are empowered to enforce associated regulations.

The designation process will involve a rigorous assessment based on specified criteria, with HMT having discretion in decision-making. Communication of designations and de-designations will be transparent, with HMT maintaining a public list of designated CTPs for ongoing monitoring of systemic risks.
