  • Monique Melis, Managing Director, Regulatory Consulting, Duff & Phelps Comment: Effects Brexit Could Have On UK Future Financial Regulation

    Date 24/04/2019

    FCA’s Andrew Bailey suggested that Britain would favour a “lower burden” approach to financial regulation after leaving the European Union in October.

    Commenting on the effects Brexit could have for the UK’s future direction of financial regulation, Monique Melis, Managing Director, Regulatory Consulting at Duff & Phelps, the Global Advisory firm comments:

    “The FCA has made it clear that it is not looking to lower the quality of outcomes in regulation post-Brexit but will target regulation in the areas where it is needed most for the UK market. When it comes to financial regulation, the UK has proven to be a consistent leader with a good reputation for implementing regulatory changes, as befits its status as the world’s leading financial centre. This was seen with both Mifid I and II, in which changes were implemented with speed and efficiency.”
