Developments in International Finance

The most profound development has been the deregulation of financial markets. It began in the United States in 1975 when commission rates on stock transactions were unfixed and became subject to negotiation. At the same time, foreign banks and brokers were given nondiscriminatory access to stock exchange membership. The world has not been the same since. The competition that ensued turned from commission rates to customer service and product innovation. The New York financial market has become vigorously competitive, with benefits for corporations and investors. They have never had such an array of differentiated services offered to them.
