Dissenting Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Dan M. Berkovitz Regarding Final Rule: Capital Requirements For Swap Dealers And Major Swap Participants

Opening Statement Of Commissioner Rostin Behnam Before The Meeting Of The Commodity Futures Trading Commission

Date 22/07/2020

Questions and concerns about the COVID-19 virus have rightfully dominated headlines and pervaded our daily conversations dating back to the first weeks of this year when there were still so many unknowns. How severe was it going to be? Why are some people impacted more than others when they are infected? How exactly does it spread? And, of course, when will we be able to resume normal life? What will the new “normal” be? We may not know the precise answers to many of these questions until well after the pandemic has passed. But, in the meantime, the rapid, exponential spread of the virus seemingly evades a complete understanding of how we can address and mitigate the risk it poses to the population in the near and long term.
