Trust in financial markets not fully restored since 2008 financial crisis

SINGAPORE: Trust in financial markets has not been fully restored since the 2008 financial crisis. Regulators, industry players and individual firms all have a role to play in restoring confidence of market participants to ensure strength and stability in Singapore's financial industry.
This was said at an industry conference jointly organised by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Singapore Academy of Law on Friday (Jan 23).
