Financial Services and capital markets
London Economics has built up a strong track record of analysis and advice in the financial services and capital markets sector over a number of years.
We have used sophisticated economic and statistical analysis to assess a wide range of issues including regulatory issues in the audit and insurance sectors; the assessment of policy and regulatory options for a number of key financial sector issues such as MiFID, high frequency trading, mortgage credit, integration of EU financial markets, systemic risk in financial markets, clearing and settlement systems and non-credit institutions; business planning for various financial products; state aid to the financial sector; consumer and policy issues related to financial exclusion and over-indebtedness; analysis and research on international capital flows and foreign direct investment; as well as the contribution of financial markets to the wider economy.
Our clients have been varied, ranging from private clients, trade associations, government departments and organisations to the City of London and the European Commission, including DG Competition, DG Economic and Financial Affairs and DG Internal Market & Services.
