New York’s capital market, stifled by stringent regulations, undue exposure to litigation risks, and the rapid growth of markets overseas, is in serious danger of losing its status as a competitive global financial center. A decline in competitiveness could cost New York tens of thousands of jobs and the United States between $15 and $30 billion in financial service revenues annually by 2011, damaging the third-largest sector of the U.S. economy, possibly irreparably.
