Opening Remarks, Federal Reserve Vice Chair For Supervision Michelle W. Bowman, At The Economic Growth And Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act Outreach Meeting, Federal Reserve Bank Of Kansas City, Kansas City, Missouri

Date 30/10/2025

Good morning and welcome to the third public outreach meeting hosted by the federal banking agencies related to the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act (EGRPRA).1 The bank regulatory system has grown extensively in recent years and has become overly complicated with often conflicting and overlapping requirements. The growth of these requirements has imposed unnecessary and significant costs on banks and their customers. I have spoken about my principles for supervision and regulation, which will continue to guide my approach to supervision and the bank regulatory framework. At the core of these principles is pragmatism, which focuses on first identifying the problem each new and existing regulation intends to solve and then reviewing and updating regulations as industries and conditions change. Once we have identified a need for reform, or a problem to be solved, our next task is to conduct a careful analysis of the intended and unintended consequences of any proposed policy solution and to consider alternative approaches that lead to lower costs or better outcomes.

ECB Monetary Policy Decisions

Date 30/10/2025

The Governing Council today decided to keep the three key ECB interest rates unchanged. Inflation remains close to the 2% medium-term target and the Governing Council’s assessment of the inflation outlook is broadly unchanged. The economy has continued to grow despite the challenging global environment. The robust labour market, solid private sector balance sheets and the Governing Council’s past interest rate cuts remain important sources of resilience. However, the outlook is still uncertain, owing particularly to ongoing global trade disputes and geopolitical tensions.
