Learning from the past, securing the future: How regulation can most effectively support the market

The recent crisis has shone a light on weaknesses in the economic system, related to market activity, monetary policy and the regulatory architecture.

As the leading financial centres begin to move out of recession, Governments across the world are turning their attention to how the causes of the crisis can be addressed to avoid a repeat of the past two years.

Xavier Rolet argues that effective regulation and market supervision are essential to a stable economic system.? He argues that regulation must not only be proportionate and well drafted, but also properly implemented by skilled and informed regulators who are close to the markets they regulate.

European Operating Committee in 2003, having joined the firm in February 2000 in New York as deputy co-head of Global Equity Trading.
