Federal Reserve Governor Daniel K. Tarullo At The Distinguised Jurist Lecture, University Of Pennsylvania Law School, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Financial Stability Regulation

The law, explicitly in many provisions and implicitly in many others, directs the bank regulatory agencies to broaden their focus beyond the soundness of individual banking institutions, and the market regulatory agencies to move beyond their traditional focus on transaction-based investor protection.
