In my view, the future of securities lending will be data-driven and the leaders will be those that make the most effective use of data.
Opening Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Dawn D. Stump Before The Commission Meeting

That trip reinforced my belief that every jurisdiction, including the US, needs to recommit to the global coordination envisioned at the Pittsburg G-20 Summit in 2009, when global leaders committed to work together to improve the system. The alternative of duplicative supervision creates a new web of regulatory vulnerabilities and serves to complicate, not improve, the intended benefits of the recent reforms.
