Statement On Government Securities Alternative Trading Systems, SEC Chair Gary Gensler, Jan. 26, 2022

Date 26/01/2022

Today, the Commission is considering amendments to include significant Treasury markets platforms within Regulation ATS. I support these amendments because, if adopted, they would help promote resiliency and greater access in the Treasury market. We’re also considering modernizing our rules related to the definition of an exchange. Over the decades since Congress put in place the definition of an exchange, there have been many changes to platforms — in particular, that they are increasingly electronified. I think it’s important that we revise the SEC’s rules to reflect those changes.

BIS: When Uncertainty Decouples Expected And Unexpected Losses

Date 26/01/2022

Summary

Focus

Credit losses evolve through distinct phases. After seemingly benign periods, they surge abruptly and stay elevated for some time before returning to a prolonged phase of low levels. The underlying mechanism for this has remained elusive, so creditors – notably, banks – have had to set their loss-absorbing resources under much uncertainty. The fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic has brought this uncertainty to the fore.
