He will take over the new role in March of 2020.[2] Bailey was previously the deputy governor of the Bank of England and head of the Prudential Regulation Authority. He ran the PRA ever since the BoE regained control of ensuring banks remained safe or were wound down in an orderly fashion. As head of the FCA, he remains on the PRA board.[3] Background[edit]Bailey assumed the role of deputy governor for prudential regulation and CEO of the Prudential Regulation Authority on April 1, 2013.

Previous roles included governor's private secretary, and head of the International Economic Analysis Division in monetary analysis.[4] During his career, he spent several years getting Britain's biggest banks to hold more capital. He also warned authorities in the UK and the US against fining banks excessively. Education[edit]Andrew Bailey attended Queens' College in Cambridge, England. [5] References[edit]
