  • Remarks Before The Institute Of International Bankers, Annual Washington Conference - CFTC Commissioner Jill E. Sommers

    Date 05/03/2012

    ntroduction

    Good afternoon. It is such a pleasure to be here again with you all today and a special thanks to Sally Miller for the invitation to discuss my perspective on the role of the CFTC in the oversight and regulation of swap markets. Much of what the Commission has focused on over the last year has been directly related to implementing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. It has been a very complex process involving a great deal of coordination with other US and foreign regulators. The further along we get in the implementation process, the more difficult it is has become. I would like to touch on a few developments and give my thoughts on the current state of derivatives regulation both here in the US and abroad. Since September of 2010, the Commission has held 24 public meetings to vote on various Dodd-Frank matters and has issued nearly 60 proposed rules, notices, or other requests seeking public comment, and has completed 28 final rules, interim final rules, and exemptions. I think we are about at the half-way mark with at least twenty more rules to go, including the most significant rules like definitions of a swap dealer and swap. We have one meeting scheduled for March and four more meetings scheduled for April and May.
