Thatcher advocates for regulatory recognition to strengthen global financial markets
What happened
Margaret Thatcher argued that markets only become stronger when unnecessary barriers to competition are removed. She noted that while markets are technologically global, the regulatory framework remains largely divided along national lines, creating costs and uncertainty for financial firms and end investors.
