Global Financial Market Regulations

Global financial market regulations are rules and standards set by governments and international organizations to ensure that financial markets operate fairly, transparently, and efficiently. These regulations aim to protect investors, maintain market integrity, and reduce the risk of financial crises. They oversee activities like trading, lending, and investment to prevent fraud, abuse, and systemic risks. Agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the U.S. and the Financial Stability Board (FSB) internationally help enforce these regulations, which vary by country but often include practices like reporting requirements and supervision of financial institutions.
