According to Dr. Platis, “Despite the current uncertain economic environment, the retail forex market is still growing and developing. This growth attracted the attention of regulators who now seek to introduce special and specific regulations for retail forex brokers. The US as well as other non-EU regulators have led this initiative while EU regulators have recently begun focusing their attention on the process. I have no doubt that the next few years will bring with them significant changes in how retail investors deal in forex”.
