The Stage | Rhiannon Price, Group Policy Development, Barclays

In this episode of The Stage, Rhiannon Price, Director, Group Policy Development Head of Capital Markets, Barclays, reflects on the journey from a “blank sheet of paper” on listings and prospectus reform, to a UK market that’s now ready for the next phase of capital raising. She explains why the focus isn’t only on attracting more companies to market, but on widening participation, bringing retail investors into the system, and helping people better understand how capital markets shape pensions, livelihoods, and financial futures across the UK.
