Capital markets

Capital markets businesses have experienced unprecedented reforms over the past decade, including a G20-led overhaul of regulation for derivatives markets, and significant increases in the depth and breadth of market conduct rules and global codes. Capital markets regulation has also been fundamentally reshaped by regional and national rule re-writes, such as the EU review of how markets function under MiFID II, and the US  Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act.

This pace of change looks set to continue as firms and regulators around the globe now grapple with the implementation of Brexit and fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic.
