LONDON (Reuters) – Britain should not relax its rules for banks and other financial services firms as a way of making itself more competitive after Brexit, a deputy governor of the Bank of England said.

“It’s incredibly important to always maintain the right regulation and certainly not think of reducing the regulatory stance for some kind of competitiveness reason,” Dave Ramsden told broadcaster CNBC in an interview.
