FSA David Lawton: Outlining the current and future strategy for securities markets regulation
13 April 2011
David Lawton, Head of Markets Infrastructure and Policy at the FSA, presented how the trading landscape might be redefined through the introduction of new types of trading venues and the steps that are needed to improve consolidation of equity trading data.
He also spoke about how greater transparency should be introduced into non-equity markets, while not damaging liquidity; how MiFID should respond to the challenges being posed by new types of market practice, such as high-frequency trading; the importance of transaction reporting as a tool to protect market integrity; how financial regulation can best contribute to the broader agenda on commodities; and the overarching importance of European markets remaining open to non-EU firms.
