    I am pleased to speak this morning at what has become, over nearly 50 years, perhaps the most prestigious conference for bankers, academics, and bank supervisors in the United States. The first part of my remarks will highlight the significant progress that has been made over the past several years toward restoring the banking system to good health. I will also talk about some of the challenges banks face as they adapt to the post-crisis economic and regulatory environment.

  • “Lettuce Produce” Statement Of Commissioner Bart Chilton At The CFTC Public Meeting On Dodd/Frank Rulemaking, Washington, Dc

    Date 10/05/2012

    Good morning.  I have two quick points today.  First, as we all know, government-wide, there are over 300 rules that are to be promulgated under Dodd-Frank.  Most regulators are behind schedule in adopting these rules.  Most had a completion date of last July.  But for our part, we have been doing our level best to consider all the comments and craft thoughtful rules that make sense for markets, consumers and our economy.  I thank the staff, but I particularly want to thank the Chairman for his earnest efforts to keep the trains running on time and getting things done.  I don’t know of another agency that has worked so hard and accomplished so much.  I heard recently that 67 percent of all the Dodd-Frank rules were NOT finished.  At the CFTC, because of the Chairman’s leadership, we have produced well over half of the 50-plus rules that we are charged with completing.  This is production number 32.
