  • SIFMA Statement On GAO Report On Large Bank Holding Companies

    Date 31/07/2014

    SIFMA today issued the following statement from Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr., in response to the Government Accountability Office's report entitled "Large Bank Holding Companies: Expectations of Government Support":

    "The GAO's report finds that any funding advantage that may have once been granted to a financial institution deemed 'too-big-too-fail' has been drastically reduced or eliminated. Since the crisis, the industry has increased capital requirements, spent millions on compliance, and worked to establish a regime to end too-big-to-fail. The report's findings underscore the fact that our industry has become safer, sounder, and more resilient, while recognizing that market perceptions have aligned with the law prohibiting taxpayer bailouts."

  • SIFMA Statement On The Cyber Information Sharing Tax Credit Act

    Date 31/07/2014

    SIFMA today issued the following statement from Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr., SIFMA president and CEO, on the "Cyber Information Sharing Tax Credit Act," which was introduced today by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.:

    "Cybersecurity is increasingly a major threat to national security and the U.S. financial system. We commend Senator Gillibrand for her focus on this issue and her leadership in promoting robust cybersecurity practices. This legislation would amend the tax code to incentivize private sector participation in an Information Sharing and Analysis Organization (ISAC). These information sharing forums, such as the Financial Services ISAC, are critical to the collective cyber defense effort as they enable the industry and government to share threat information and coordinate response protocols."
