Conclusion
The regulators, particularly the FCA, do not have a clear understanding of the cumulative burden of regulation due to limitations in their approach to cost benefit analysis. This prevents them from recognising and addressing the negative impact that their activities have on the growth and international competitiveness of the sector. The design of regulation must be informed by proportionality, impact assessments, and CBA.
