  • Statement On The Aggregate Impact Of Financial Services Regulations, SEC Commissioner Daniel M. Gallagher

    Date 03/03/2015

    During a fireside chat at today’s Institute of International Bankers’ 26th Annual Washington Conference, I expressed my concern about the number and aggregate impact of regulations that have been imposed on U.S. financial services firms since the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010. These regulations come from an alphabet soup of domestic regulators, including the SEC, and many are related to the edicts of non-accountable international bodies such as the Financial Stability Board. Unfortunately, in promulgating many of these myriad regulations, a robust cost-benefit analysis was not required—and therefore none was performed. Even where a cost-benefit analysis was performed (an exercise for the most part limited to rules adopted by the SEC or CFTC, either independently or jointly with other regulators, given their statutory mandate for cost-benefit analysis), such analysis encompassed only the incremental effects of the rule being considered for adoption. No regulator, as far as I know, has considered the overall regulatory burden on financial services firms when determining whether to impose additional costly regulations. We as regulators are, when it comes to the possibility that our rules are causing death by a thousand cuts, the proverbial ostrich—head firmly entrenched in the sand.

  • What Is Left To Do On The Post-Crisis Bank Capital Framework? Speech Given By David Rule, Executive Director, Prudential Policy At The Institute Of International Bankers Annual Conference, Washington, 2 March 2015

    Date 03/03/2015

    Six and half years after the depths of the Great Financial Crisis, we know the shape of the future global bank capital framework. But important questions do remain. Today I want to focus on how regulators should measure risk in order to set capital requirements, with some final remarks on the particular case of securitisation.
