HM Treasury hosted representatives from the U.S. Treasury and regulatory agencies in London on January 26, 2026, to conduct joint senior-level industry engagement for the Transatlantic Taskforce for Markets of the Future, established last September.
According to U.S Treasury, the discussions explored opportunities to improve links between the countries’ capital markets and to collaborate on digital assets.
This engagement is part of the Taskforce’s efforts to seek input from industry partners to ensure that its work is informed by what matters most to industry on both sides of the Atlantic.
In September 2025, as part of President Trump’s state visit to the UK, Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent and Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves established the Taskforce to enhance the deep and historic connection between the world’s leading financial hubs in the UK and the United States.
The U.S. Treasury and HM Treasury agree to work closely together with additional joint engagements in the United States anticipated this month.
The Taskforce aims to report back to both finance ministries on its recommendations via the UK-U.S. Financial Regulatory Working Group in summer 2026
