The interim head of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority, Tracey McDermott, has ruled out the possibility of taking on the role full-time.

McDermott, who interviewed for the role, pulled out of the race for the top job before Christmas. In a statement on January 7, she said that, while it was "a privilege" to lead the organisation, it was "not the right job for me at this stage of my career".
