Britain's FCA to Publish Motor Finance Redress Plan on March 30

LONDON, March 24 (Reuters) - Britain's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) will update the ​market on March 30 about ‌its plans for a multi-billion pound redress package for consumers ​affected by mis-sold motor ​finance, the regulator's chief executive said ⁠on Tuesday.

Nikhil Rathi told ​a parliamentary committee that the ​FCA would set out its approach to one of the country's most ​expensive mis-selling scandals shortly ​after markets close.

The FCA last October ‌proposed ⁠an 11 billion pound ($14.74 billion) deal, accusing the industry of inadequately disclosing both commissions ​paid by ​lenders ⁠to motor dealerships and ties between lenders and ​dealerships that it said ​encouraged ⁠brokers to charge more for car loans over a ⁠17-year ​period to 2024.
