Federal Reserve Governor Jerome H. Powell, At The The Brookings Institution, Washington, D.C., August 3, 2015, Structure And Liquidity In Treasury Markets

Date 03/08/2015

I'm very pleased to be here to discuss the current structure of the Treasury markets. My involvement with these markets dates back to the early 1990s, when I served as Under Secretary of the Treasury for Finance. Some of you will recall the Salomon Brothers auction bidding scandal that broke in the summer of 1991. That event required those of us with oversight responsibilities to do a thorough evaluation of the structure of the primary Treasury market, and ultimately to propose a series of reforms. As part of that process, we put together a public conference to consider further reforms to Treasury auction procedures, with the participation of regulators, academics, and the financial sector. Some of the ideas that came out of that conference eventually led to changes in the way primary auctions were conducted, changes that I believe were beneficial to the efficiency and integrity of the Treasury market. The issues we are discussing today relate to the secondary market rather than to the auctions. Although the Treasury market remains deep and resilient, there are nonetheless reasonable questions as to whether market functioning can be improved.

Thank you for that kind introduction, and thank you Doug for organizing this event.  As you know, Treasury staff, working with staff from the New York Fed, Federal Reserve Board, SEC and CFTC, recently released a report on the volatility in Treasury markets last October 15th.  I would like to begin by acknowledging the teams at all five agencies for their hard work and close collaboration.  The final report is the result of their rigorous analysis, allowing us, for the first time, to have a fact-based conversation about the events of that day and, importantly, the evolution of Treasury markets.
