The Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) has published its 2026 Three-Year Regulation Plan (1 April 2026 – 31 March 2029), setting out its strategic roadmap for the development of South Africa’s financial sector regulatory framework over the next three years. The Plan highlights a continued focus on transparency, stakeholder engagement, and a carefully managed transition to the Conduct of Financial Institutions (COFI) Bill, while advancing key reforms across financial markets, governance, operational resilience, retirement funds, payment services, and emerging areas such as artificial intelligence and sustainable finance.
The FSCA has emphasised that regulatory reforms will be implemented in a phased and proportionate manner, with extensive industry consultation to ensure that changes are practical, effective and appropriate for the South African financial sector. SAIFM encourages members and industry stakeholders to familiarise themselves with these important developments and participate in consultation opportunities as they arise.
