Financial markets channel investment to where it is needed by business and governments, thereby supporting economic and social development. But the financial crisis also showed the damage markets can unleash when they are broken.
Since 2008, the EU has undertaken extensive regulatory reforms to stabilise the financial system and address the root causes of the crisis. Bloomberg has been a strong supporter of the EU’s work and the multilateral effort to build a robust system of global regulatory architecture.
Whether in Budapest or Brussels, Stockholm or Seville, Bloomberg’s objective remains the same: to offer our clients the tools and services they need to make better-informed decisions in an increasingly complex environment, and manage their investments in compliance with regulations.
