As we move through 2026, firms are still controlling budgets, but they are no longer standing still. Most hiring is being justified around one of four themes: regulatory delivery, operational resilience, technology/cyber oversight, or business change. That fits with the current regulatory agenda. The FCA’s 2025/26 work programme emphasises technology, data and financial crime, while the PRA’s 2025/26 plan keeps safety, soundness and resilience at the centre of supervision. The Bank of England has also continued to frame operational resilience as a live priority, including IT, cyber and third- party dependency risk.
