Remarks At Special Meeting Of The SEC Small Business Capital Formation Advisory Committee, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce, April 2, 2020

Date 02/04/2020

Thank you Carla [Garrett] for calling this ad hoc committee meeting today.  COVID-19 has up-ended everything about our lives in the last month.  The temporary shutdown of the economy is particularly difficult for many small businesses, which are being forced to shut their doors, let employees go, and perhaps even completely cease operations.  Cooperation, creativity, and flexibility can help us get through the current crisis and the transition back to normal economic activity.  I am pleased that we are beginning that process today by hearing directly from the committee on their ideas of how the Commission can help small businesses address their short-term capital needs to maintain their long-term viability.
