THE BIG BANG ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE IN LONDON IS A CONVENIENT SHORTHAND FOR TWO SIGNIFICANT ACTS OF DEREGULATION: THE ABOLITION OF MONOPOLISTIC FIXED COMMISSIONS ON SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS, AND THE REMOVAL OF BARRIERS TO FOREIGN ENTRY INTO AN EXCHANGE THAT WAS CONSTITUTED AS A PRIVATE CLUB. WHILE THE DISCUSSION OF THE RESULTING UPHEAVAL IN LONDON'S MARKETS HAS TENDED TO FOCUS ON DOMESTIC CONSIDERATIONS, THE MOVE WAS A DELIBERATE RESPONSE BY THE BANK OF ENGLAND, THE BRITISH DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY AND THE STOCK EXCHANGE AUTHORITIES TO A THREAT POSED BY CHANGES IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE INTERNATIONAL SECURITIES MARKETS. IT IS BEST UNDERSTOOD WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF A WIDER PATTERN OF LIBERALIZATION IN THE WORLD'S CAPITAL MARKETS.

THIS ARTICLE LOOKS AT SOME OF THE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC FORCES AT WORK IN THE GLOBAL TREND TOWARDS UNRESTRICTED CAPITAL FLOWS. MORE SPECIFICALLY, IT WILL LOOK AT THE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CITY OF LONDON AS AN INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL CENTRE.
