Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM) has just published a report, titled “Rules and Revitalization” where the company states, among other things, that the trend to harmonise regulations at the international level is losing momentum as the world's largest economies adjust their policies to meet their domestic priorities for stability and growth.

According to the report, the push for de-regulation in the US is clear as the Trump administration takes aim at a regulatory regime that it considers a constraint on the economy and jobs. The scenarios in Europe and China are more nuanced, motivated by the need to preserve stability while supporting growth.

GSAM asked their investment professionals in key global markets to share their early views on the sector and strategic implications of a shifting regulatory landscape. Their answers can be found on this link.
