Why are you assuming that all countries don't have a CFPB equivalent? Do they also not have parliaments that make laws since they do not have a US Congress?

Germany has BaFin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Financial_Supervisory_...), a federal agency that does the same thing. You missed my point entirely.
