Statement At Open Meeting On Rule 701 Amendment And Concept Release, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce

Date 18/07/2018

Thank you to the staff for your work in putting together both this new rule and the accompanying concept release.

Getting It Right: Factors For Tailoring Supervision And Regulation Of Large Financial Institutions, Federal Reserve Vice Chairman For Supervision Randal K. Quarles At American Bankers Association Summer Leadership Meeting, Salt Lake City, Utah

Date 18/07/2018

I want to thank the American Bankers Association for inviting me to speak.1 This is an era of relatively rapid evolution in banking regulation, an area of human endeavor that is not commonly known for its speedy metamorphoses. But in the time since I became the Vice Chairman for Supervision at the Federal Reserve, we have seen agreement on the final pieces of the international framework for post-crisis regulation--the so-called Basel III endgame. The Federal Reserve has issued a number of proposed rule changes that would improve our capital and stress testing regime. And in late May, the Congress enacted the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA), which, among other things, directs us to further tailor our supervision and regulation of large banks with more than $100 billion in assets. In other words, the Congress wants to see action and has, to a certain degree, specified some of the steps we need to take. How we respond to that task, especially as it applies to large banks, will be the focus of my remarks today.
