Financial Regulation

Financial Regulation

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.

Delist or not delist: A $2.2 trillion US-China auditing dispute

By Jeremy Mark

The economic and financial forces set in motion by the COVID-10 pandemic—global recession and ultra-loose monetary policies that have driven a cross-border search for higher yield—have contributed to a slow shift of international capital toward China’s markets. Now, intensified US-China tensions—especially the targeting of Chinese companies for delisting from US stock markets—have the potential to heighten that trend.

How the rest of the world responds to the US-China split

By Hung Tran

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated fragmentation of the postwar world order. Its most poignant manifestation is in an intensifying competition between the United States and China for political and strategic influence.
