The motivations for developing the frameworks:• Political pressure following financial collapses. • The need to create a new organisational culture within a recently formed regulatory body.• The need to bring supervisory practices in line with developments in financial institutions’ operations and risk management practices. • The need to deliver ‘integrated’ financial regulation. • A need to improve internal managerial control, to prioritize resources and shift regulation onto a more proactive footing. • A concern to manage the expectations politicians and the wider public had of what regulation could and should achieve.

Should India have a sole regulator??
![Page 22: Case for a single regulator for financial services in India](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54d96d9e4a795959628b4597/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
A single market regulator clearly has its own advantages over multiple regulators. But it is more suitable for well-developed and mature markets which are smaller in size, like the UK. Even the United States, which is supposed to have the most mature financial markets in the world, has multiple regulators
