Financial Regulators

Financial regulators oversee and enforce laws governing the financial markets, institutions, and professionals. They aim to maintain the integrity of the financial system, protect consumers, ensure fair trading practices, and prevent financial crimes. While financial regulators do not operate as businesses and do not make money in the traditional sense, they are funded by government budgets, and in some cases, through fees and fines collected from the entities they regulate.
