Early Life<\/h2>\n

Andrew John Bailey was born on March 30, 1959. He attended Wyggeston Boys’ Grammar School, Leicester before proceeding to Queens’ College, Cambridge. There, he gained a bachelor’s degree in History. He also obtained a Ph.D. from the same institution in 1984. Shortly after his graduation, Bailey picked up a job as a research officer with the London School of Economics. In 1985, he joined the Bank of England.<\/span><\/p>\n

During his early periods at the apex bank, Bailey served as a private secretary to the then Governor. Later, he was appointed to head the International Economic Analysis and Monetary Analysis Division. Bailey also led the Special Resolution Unit of the Bank.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to the financial crisis that stormed the country\u2019s economy, Bailey had attained the status of the special operations director in BoE. This position saddled him with the responsibility of solving issues relating to the banking sector of the country during the crisis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Later in 2009, he became the chairman and chief executive of Dunfermline Building Society Bridge Bank Ltd. It is worth mentioning that a building society is a financial institution that pays interest on investments by its members. It also lends capital for the acquisition and renovation of houses. However, Dunfermline struggled and could not continue due to financial issues. This development prompted the institution to put its remaining business under the management of BoE, thereby leading to the appointment of Bailey as its chief executive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in 2013, Bailey attained a huge feat in his banking career after he was appointed as the chief executive of the new Prudential Regulation Authority and the first deputy Governor of the Bank of England for Prudential Regulation. He managed to build a good reputation as a central banker owing to his commitment to work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Financial Conduct Authority<\/h2>\n

Notably, Bailey\u2019s attitude to work caught the attention of prominent individuals in the country. This led to his recommendation to become the Chief Executive Officer of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). He attained this position on January 26, 2016, replacing Tracey McDermott. Meanwhile, Tracey McDermott previously held the position in an acting capacity following the resignation of Martin Wheatly. Martin Wheatly left after George Osborne passed a vote of no confidence on him around July 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n
