<p>保守党公布了一项新政策，将取消对城市董事会施加的多样性目标，以减少繁文缛节。</p>
<p>影子财政大臣梅尔·斯特赖德（Sir Mel Stride）周四宣布了提案，禁止英国主要金融监管机构出台新的多样性规则，并废除对主要高街银行和保险公司施加的现有规定。</p>
<p>根据保守党的计划，金融行为监管局（FCA）和审慎监管局（PRA）在制定新规则时将被迫严格关注金融问题，要求监管机构在任何 “非金融” 规则上获得部长批准。</p>
<p>梅尔表示，如果党在下次选举中获胜，将会取消与金融稳定、竞争、消费者保护或增长无关的银行和保险公司的任何规则。</p>
<p>此举旨在使城市公司免于遵守多样性和包容性规则，这些规则增加了企业的合规成本。</p>
<p>这些规则包括 FCA 对银行和投资管理公司的多样性目标，要求 40% 的董事会席位分配给女性，并至少有一个席位由少数族裔背景的人担任。</p>
<p>梅尔表示：“如果我们想在全球竞争，英国企业必须摆脱不必要的成本和繁文缛节。太长时间以来，政府在气候变化和多样性等问题上对企业施加了负担，同时鼓励独立监管机构也这样做。”</p>
<p>这些提案是在拉切尔·里夫斯（Rachel Reeves）施压削减繁文缛节的背景下提出的，监管机构正在进行更广泛的改革。</p>
<p>今年早些时候，财政大臣敦促 FCA 首席执行官尼基尔·拉提（Nikhil Rathi）和 PRA 负责人萨姆·伍兹（Sam Woods）提出想法，以促进英国增长，声称城市监管像是对企业的 “颈部施加了靴子”。</p>
<p>此举促使监管机构进行重大反思，拉提承诺撤回一些更繁重的规则。然而，他警告说，更多的风险承担将导致未来消费者受到更大伤害的可能性。</p>
<p>在 FCA 和 PRA 因担心对银行施加额外成本而取消引入新的多样性和包容性报告规则的计划后，这一决定作出。</p>
<p>在特朗普对美国的多样性、公平和包容（DEI）倡议进行打压后，监管机构面临来自城市高管的强烈反对，最终在 3 月份放弃了这些提案。</p>
<p>保守党的提案是该党对商业法规进行大规模改革的一部分，上周还宣布取消强制报告可持续性和气候变化问题的要求。</p>
<p>梅尔补充道：“我希望英国拥有世界上最具活力的金融服务行业。这意味着公司应该被允许专注于为客户和股东创造价值，而不是遵循政府规定的目标、配额和报告要求。”</p>
<p>FCA 和 PRA 已被联系以发表评论。</p>

<p>保守党提议取消城市公司的多样性目标，旨在减少监管负担。影子财政大臣梅尔·斯特赖德爵士宣布，金融行为监管局（FCA）和审慎监管局（PRA）在制定任何非财务规则时需要获得部长批准。这一举措旨在降低与多样性法规相关的合规成本，这些法规要求董事会中女性和少数族裔的显著代表性。这些提案是更广泛努力的一部分，旨在简化监管并增强英国企业的竞争力</p>
