However, it quickly reasserted its power by dominating policymaking across Whitehall and diminishing other ministries in the process. It also successfully fought off attempts by Prime Ministers, from Blair to Johnson, to cut it down to size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this fascinating insider account, based on in-depth interviews with the Chancellors and key senior officials, Howard Davies shows how the past twenty-five years have nonetheless been a roller-coaster ride for the Treasury. Heavily criticised for its response to the global financial crisis, and for the rigours of the austerity programme, it also ran into political controversy through its role in the Scottish referendum and the Brexit debate. The Treasury’s dire predictions of the impact of Brexit have not been borne out.

Since then, the system has been fundamentally overhauled, tightening up regulations that were far too lax, and making financial institutions safer. However, the system is now over-complex, and the United States, in particular, is pushing back to set a new balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHoward Davies, one of the world's leading experts on financial regulation, provides a clear and authoritative guide to this messy system, assesses what works and what doesn't, and lays out a programme of change for the next decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs Davies explains, regulation is never a finished product. Transformed after 2008, it has had to adapt further to tackle new issues, including cryptocurrencies, the blockchain revolution, climate change, and artificial intelligence. Davies describes how the different pieces of the new regulatory jigsaw fit together, using his years of work in finance and regulation to provide crucial insights into the motivations of lawmakers and market practitioners alike. The book concludes with a bold agenda to make the system more robust, cheaper, and more effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs the appetite for regulation sours and geo-political crises produce sustained uncertainty, \u003ci\u003eGlobal Financial Regulation\u003c\/i\u003e is a clear-eyed look at the murky waters of international regulation. An incisive successor to Davies's much-praised guide from 2009, this book is essential reading for regulators, financial market practitioners, and students of the global financial system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48038291669228,"sku":"9781509564873","price":77.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3576ecb2cea8afef1fc49a5053130a9b.jpg?v=1787727360"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/howard-davies.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
