[UK Rejects Alignment of Financial Rules with EU, Deepening UK-EU Relations Faces Divide] Golden Finance reports on November 11th that, according to foreign media reports, the UK government under Prime Minister Andy Burnham has refused to accept dynamic regulatory alignment with the EU in the financial services sector—that is, automatically following the EU's updated regulations—and has listed this as a red line in UK-EU negotiations. The UK government hopes to strengthen cooperation with the EU in areas such as agriculture and energy, but insists on maintaining the regulatory autonomy of the City of London. This stance continues the policy of the previous Prime Minister Starmer government. British financial industry groups believe that post-Brexit regulatory autonomy will allow the UK to flexibly adjust rules according to its own market conditions, especially in areas such as digital assets, artificial intelligence, and ESG disclosure. However, if the UK hopes to rejoin the EU or enter the single market in the future, it may still need to accept EU financial regulatory rules, highlighting the contradiction between deepening its relationship with the EU and maintaining regulatory independence.
