AGRC Fundamentals of the Regulatory Framework for the Financial Services Sector

Description Effective capital and financial markets are an essential component of both developed and developing economies. They fuel economic development and help with the creation of wealth. As a result, confidence and trust in these markets is vital to these economies’ long-term success and stability. A sudden loss of confidence and trust can lead to the failure of the financial companies involved, which may have an adverse impact on the economy such as a reduction in employment opportunities available to local professionals. Subsequent bank and government bailouts, as well as the impact caused by cuts in government spending and tax hikes, have affected millions of people across the world.
