FSA establishes financial sector pandemic planning discussion group

The UK FSA has set-up a discussion group to explore financial-sector specific business continuity and financial stability issues related to a possible future pandemic.

Developed following a request from the steering group which organised the 2005 Market Wide Exercise, the group is being chaired by Richard Maddison.

The group’s first action has been to help design a questionnaire that has recently been dispatched to key organisations to assess their preparedness for a pandemic.

Minutes of group meetings will be published in the secure area of the FSC Website under ‘Tripartite Initiatives’ and ‘Financial Sector Discussion Group on Pandemics’.
