arbitrage in Market Watch 52, along with a summary of the findings of a review of

market abuse, or are used for a purpose connected with financial crime.</p><p> </p><p>The

for illicit purposes and I am working closely with the Financial Conduct Authority
to ensure that these practices are not used to facilitate market abuse.</p>
