国际英语新闻:New British finance secretary looks set to reform finance authority

2010-06-04来源:和谐英语
Hoban also underlined this viewpoint in his speech, "We recognise the power of free markets to serve the real economy, we equally recognise that the self-serving nature of these markets - if left unchecked - can leave households and businesses bearing the cost of high-risk strategies.

"Hindsight shows us with 20:20 clarity that the system was skewed in favour of excessive risk taking, we will bring this back into balance, towards the people and businesses these markets are ultimately supposed to serve."

However the future of the FSA under these plans remain uncertain, with the Guardian reporting that Osborne's aides refused to comment if it was going to be closed or not. Despite making clear that the regulatory powers would go to the BoE, Hoban in his speech also failed to make clear what the future of the FSA would be.

The return of the powers to the BoE was included in the coalition agreement between the Conservative party and the Liberal Democrat party which outlines the government policy.

It was also included in the Queen's speech to the Houses of Parliament last week in which government policy for the coming parliamentary term was outlined.

Osborne looks set to use one of the traditional events of the financial world, the chancellor's Mansion House speech in the City of London to provide more details about the plan. The speech is set for June 16, just six days before Osborne again takes center stage with an emergency budget which will define government spending targets, policies and cuts for the next few years.
