  • Testimony By Federal Reserve Board Governor Daniel K. Tarullo On The Volcker Rule - Before The Subcommittee On Capital Markets And Government Sponsored Enterprises And The Subcommittee On Financial Institutions And Consumer Credit, Committee On Financial Services, U.S. House Of Representatives, Washington, D.C.

    Date 18/01/2012

    Chairman Capito, Chairman Garrett, Ranking Member Maloney, Ranking Member Waters, and other members of the subcommittees, thank you for the opportunity to testify on the interagency proposal to implement the requirements of section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), commonly known as the Volcker Rule. My remarks today will focus on some of the issues faced in developing the interagency proposal. As I have previously noted in Congressional testimony, the goal of the Federal Reserve with respect to this and all other provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act, is to implement the statute in a manner that is faithful to the language of the statute and that maximizes financial stability and other social benefits at the least cost to credit availability and economic growth.
