Investment Regulations Too Complex for Staff: City Watchdog

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has admitted that their laws are so complicated that it is quite difficult for their own employees to comprehend which investment products come under their jurisdiction. During the annual public meeting in London, consumers criticised the FCA for failing to safeguard them from the scandals – which are on the rise. The issue of London Capital & Finance was brought up by the attendees as 11,000 investors lost their money in the £236m financial scandal. Charles Randell, Chairman of the FCA said that the rules governing the regulatory perimeter are quite difficult to understand as they have changed over time.

According to the latest data, house prices in London dropped at the fastest pace in nearly 10 years in May.

UK May Enter into a Complete Recession Said Budget Watchdog

Watchdog for public finances said on Thursday that Britain may enter a full-blown recession and a no-deal Brexit could more than double the budget deficit the next year. The world’s 5th biggest economy appeared to have flat-lined in the second quarter as said by the Office for Budget Responsibility. Spending and tax cut promises which were made by Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt may impact the budget. Surveys were weak in June, which suggested that the pace of growth may remain weak. This fact increases the risk of the economy entering a full-blown recession.

Financial Regulator Says “Strong Case” for Regulating Financial Product Promotions

Following a surge in online promotions, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) said that there was a “strong case” for regulating how financial products are being promoted. Because such promotions are currently unregulated, the FCA Chief Executive Andrew Bailey said that he was concerned with an outburst of high yield investments that are being offered online. He further added that it is very difficult to keep track of all these things. People who had put their money into London Capital & Finance may be entitled to payouts covering their losses if the advice they received was misleading. This was said by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme last month.
