Rules introduced after the financial crisis in 2008 that were aimed at limiting risks will be eased.
The plans to ease regulations on financial services are being described as a second "Big Bang"The government is set to announce what it describes as one of the biggest overhauls of financial regulation for more than three decades.
Rules that forced banks to legally separate their retail lending arms from their riskier investment operations will be reviewed, as will rules governing the hiring, monitoring and sanctioning of senior finance executives. Mr Hunt is set to meet with bosses of the UK's largest financial services in Edinburgh on Friday to discuss the reforms.
But City insiders say a major disadvantage it imposes is the lengthy process of getting the movement of senior staff to the UK approved by the regulator - making London less attractive to foreign firms.After the financial crisis, large banks were forced to separate or "ring fence" their domestic banking operations from their investment banking operations that were deemed riskier.
It is worth noting that although this will be billed as a Brexit freedom, the EU is undertaking similar reforms.
