Remarks Of CFTC Commissioner Dan M. Berkovitz At The Commodity Markets Council State Of The Industry 2019 - Competition, Concentration, And Cartels In The Swaps Market

Date 28/01/2019

Good afternoon.  Thank you Kevin, Jim, and the Commodity Markets Council for inviting me here to speak with you.

I’m going to talk today about free, fair, and competitive markets.  These concepts are the foundation of our economic system.  In the same year the American colonies declared their independence, Adam Smith observed in The Wealth of Nations, “In general, if any branch of trade, or any division of labor, be advantageous to the public, the freer and more general the competition, it will always be the more so.”  Just as our principles of political liberty have endured, the principles of economic liberty have endured as well.  More recently, the U.S. Supreme Court declared, “The heart of our national economic policy long has been faith in the value of competition.”
