There has been a significant increase in globalization and interconnectedness of financial markets, as well as advancements in technology that have changed the way the securities markets operate which have also given rise to new enforcement challenges. The EMMoU signatories, by availing themselves of advanced level of assistance and by continuing to provide each other with the fullest cooperation permissible, are expected to increase the effectiveness of their investigations and the enforcement of their jurisdiction’s laws and regulations.
