Britain approves new rules to boost London as global listing centre

LONDON - Britain's markets watchdog confirmed on Thursday new rules to boost London's role as a global centre for listing companies after increased competition from the European Union following Brexit.

"The Financial Conduct Authority has today confirmed a series of rule changes to ensure that the UK's public markets remain a trusted and attractive place to list successful companies, providing opportunities for companies to grow from which investors will benefit," the watchdog said in a statement.
