  • The Benefit Of Hindsight And The Promise Of Foresight: A Proposal For A Comprehensive Review Of Equity Market Structure - SEC Commissioner Michael S. Piwowar, U.S. Securities And Exchange Commission

    Date 09/12/2013

    Thank you Dan [Waters] for that kind introduction and the invitation to join you today.  It is nice to be among such a large and distinguished group of market structure experts from both the private and public sectors.  As a former academic researcher in the area of market microstructure, who has also spent time in the private sector and in government, this conference is a great setting for me to give my first public speech on equity market structure as an SEC Commissioner.  Over the next several months, I plan to speak about each of the three parts of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC’s) core mission – protecting investors; maintaining fair, orderly, and efficient markets; and promoting capital formation.  Today’s speech covers the second part of our mission – maintaining fair, orderly, and efficient markets – and in it I would like to share with you my views on the need for a comprehensive review of equity market structure.  It is also fitting for me to be delivering a speech in a venue called “The Brewery” since my last name – “Piwowar” – literally means “Brewer” in Polish.

    The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC or Commission) is requesting public comment on a certification from Bloomberg SEF LLC (Bloomberg) to implement available-to-trade determinations for certain interest rate and credit default swap contracts.

All transactions involving swaps that are subject to the trade execution requirement generally must be executed on either a DCM or a SEF. In addition, to the extent that such transactions are executed on a SEF, they must be executed in accordance with the execution methods prescribed by Commission regulation 37.9(a)(2).

  • Statement Of CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler Before The Financial Stability Oversight Council

    Date 09/12/2013

    I want to thank Secretary Lew for his kind words.

    Five years ago when President-elect Obama asked me to serve, the economy was in a free fall. Americans were paying for the crisis with their jobs, their pensions and their homes.
