The UK's financial watchdog has cautioned the government that its push for deregulation to boost economic growth may lead to increased risks, more business failures, and harm to consumers. This approach, aimed at stimulating economic activity, may compromise consumer protection and stability in the financial sector. As the government seeks to promote growth, it must balance this goal with the need to safeguard the economy and protect consumers from potential financial harm, highlighting the importance of effective financial regulation and oversight in preventing market failures and ensuring economic stability. Key considerations include consumer protection and financial stability.
