Light touch financial regulation after the U.K. leaves the European Union will not help the British financial sector, according to a deputy governor at the Bank of England.
Speaking to CNBC's Joumanna Bercetche at the Innovate Finance Global Summit in London, Deputy Governor for Markets and Banking Dave Ramsden indicated that adopting light touch regulation to gain a competitive advantage for the U.K. financial sector after Brexit was not on the agenda.
Ramsden said it was important that the Bank of England retained focus in its core mission of ensuring the soundness of individual banks and the overall financial system, especially 11 years on from the start of the financial crisis. "The lessons we have learned from that are that it's incredibly important to maintain the right regulation and certainly not think of reducing the regulatory stance for some kind of competitiveness reason," said Ramsden.
"That won't be good for the U.K. financial sector and won't be good for the burgeoning fintech sector in the U.K.," he added.
