Remarks By Counselor To The US Treasury Secretary Antonio Weiss At A Conference On The Evolving Structure Of The U.S. Treasury Market

Date 20/10/2015

Thank you, Jay.  I would like to thank Bill Dudley and the team at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for hosting this conference, the other agencies for their participation, and the panelists and speakers who are participating today and tomorrow. 

I should acknowledge at the outset that this conference grew out of a suggestion by Governor Powell, who successfully convened a broad group of stakeholders following the Salomon Brothers bidding scandal in the early 1990s.  We are not here today to respond to a scandal or crisis.  But the issues we will discuss over the next two days are no less important, and will benefit from the input of such a broad range of market participants, policymakers and academics.

Federal Reserve Governor Jerome H. Powell At The Federal Reserve Bank Of New York, New York, New York, October 20, 2015, The Evolving Structure Of U.S. Treasury Markets

Date 20/10/2015

I am pleased to be here with this distinguished group of market participants, academics, government officials, and many others who are vitally interested in the issues before us today. I am sure that all of us recognize the importance of the U.S. Treasury markets to our economy and our financial system; indeed, to the world economy and the global financial system. As Bill just outlined, for the next two days, we will collectively address the most important questions facing the Treasury markets today. Are there significant problems in these markets that are not likely to self-correct? More specifically, is liquidity in broad decline, or more prone to sudden disappearance? If so, what are the causes? And what are the costs and benefits of potential market-led or regulatory responses? The design of this conference is to provide a forum for differing perspectives on these issues.
