The City post-Brexit: A discussion about the Square Mile’s future in Global Britain
This discussion focuses on the Treasury’s strategy paper on MIFID2, the proposed review of the prospectus regime, the post-Hill Review and the latest Treasury paper on Solvency2.
Also on how and whether the UK should open up more to cryptos in the wake of the crackdown on Binance, and thoughts on what we could/should do to reinvigorate securitization.
While the panel didn’t agree on everything, there was a sense that the City was ‘getting back to normal’, and starting to find ways around some of the post-Brexit problems, and that, just maybe, we could risk a more radical approach to regulatory reform. Watch the full CSFI debate here.
