Technological innovation in financial services remains central to the government's growth plans - whether that be the announcement of a radical new public-private partnership to deliver the UK's future retail payments infrastructure, or the FCA's ongoing consultations on cryptoassets and stablecoins, or dramatic steps forward on digitising wholesale financial markets.
