Britain's government is expected to publish more detailed proposals next week to relax bank regulations originally designed to prevent a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis. The move is a material policy shift for UK banks and could reduce compliance burdens while increasing sector risk tolerance. No specific rule changes or timing for implementation were provided.
