CEO survey: Banks ‘over-regulated’ according to PricewaterhouseCoopers

The vast majority of banks across the world consider their industry to be over-regulated, just a matter of years after the global financial crash sunk economies and left the financial sector in disarray.

The perceived over-regulation within banking and capital markets is the biggest concern for 87% of the sector’s chief executives.

Business leaders consider the regulatory constraints imposed upon them in the wake of the financial crash to be a bigger hindrance than technological developments or geopolitical uncertainty.
