UK picks Barclays executive Katharine Braddick to run Bank of England banking watchdog

Britain tapped Barclays executive Katharine Braddick on Friday to take over as the Bank of England's deputy governor for prudential regulation, handing her the reins at the Prudential Regulation Authority. “Katharine Braddick is an accomplished pro-business leader with the experience to keep our financial system safe while backing the investment and lending that drives growth,” finance minister Rachel Reeves said. Braddick’s five-year term begins July 1, succeeding Sam Woods. She joined Barclays in 2022, following stints at the Treasury, the former Financial Services Authority, and the Association of British Insurers. The PRA occupies a quietly crucial corner of finance, scrutinizing whether banks and insurers have what it takes to weather stress.
