Well-balanced financial regulation is key to ensure the smooth functioning of capital markets, protect financial systems from shocks, and address emerging challenges such as cryptocurrencies. Effective regulation can occur through legislation, such as beneficial ownership regulation, or through more structural reform efforts, for instance the EU’s Capital Markets Union. Tighter integration of the financial infrastructure between global economies can help promote innovation and growth and ensure stability in the financial system.
