The UK Financial Conduct Authority has appointed Sabina Saini as its financial services attache to India.

This appointment is part of the FCA's broader global expansion strategy alongside a parallel UAE posting.
The move aims to advance UK financial services interests, boost investment, and support international cooperation.
More context
Sabina Saini brings extensive experience from her prior roles at the Bank of England and financial regulation.
The initiative is designed to foster the long-term growth of the UK economy through deeper engagement.
While the attache lacks direct supervisory powers, the role facilitates communication across jurisdictions.
The appointment follows prior regulatory exchanges between the FCA and India's IFSCA.
Experts view the posting as a macro-regulatory update rather than a direct corporate event.
The strengthened ties are expected to help cross-border financial services firms navigate regulatory landscapes.
