what is Financial regulation?

Financial regulation Organizations
Financial regulation is a form of regulation or supervision, which subjects financial institutions to certain requirements, restrictions, and guidelines.
Forex market regulation refers to the rules and laws that firms operating in the forex industry must follow. But regulation is more than just having rules in place, it’s also about the ongoing oversight and enforcement of these rules.
The purpose of regulation is to protect you from undisclosed financial risk and fraud.
The forex market is by far the largest, most liquid market in the world, with more than $5.5billion traded daily.
Due to its decentralized and global nature, the forex market has been more prone to fraud and has been less regulated than other financial markets.
