  • Opening Statement Of CFTC Chairman, Timothy G. Massad - Commission Open Meeting

    Date 03/11/2014

    Today we are considering three matters that all involve fine tuning our rules to make sure they work as intended. These are all adjustments to previously issued rules, and they are appropriate to make sure our rules do not impose undue burdens or unintended consequences, particularly for the nonfinancial commercial businesses that use these markets to hedge commercial risks. This is a natural process for any regulatory agency, but it is particularly appropriate in our case. That is because the CFTC’s responsibilities were increased dramatically as a result of the worst financial crisis this country has faced since the Great Depression. We were given the responsibility to oversee the over-the-counter derivatives market, a $700 trillion market that was largely unregulated prior to the crisis. As we know, excessive risks related to this market were one of the causes of the crisis. The CFTC developed and published many new rules to implement that responsibility and it updated certain other related rules in the course of doing so.
