The Federal Reserve’s Regulatory Agenda For Foreign Banking Organizations: What Lies Ahead For Enhanced Prudential Standards And The Volcker Rule - Vice Chairman For Supervision Randal K. Quarles - At The Institute Of International Bankers Annual Washington Conference, Washington, D.C.

Date 05/03/2018

Thank you very much to the Institute of International Bankers for inviting me to speak here today. Among my first areas of focus when I was a very young lawyer starting out in my career well over 30 years ago was providing advice to foreign banks and financial firms operating in the United States, and I learned then just how integral, essential, and welcome a part your firms play in our domestic financial sector. Non-U.S. firms serve as an important source of credit to U.S. households and businesses and contribute materially to the strength and liquidity of U.S. financial markets, so it is critical--not just as a matter of fairness but as a matter of our domestic interest--that we as regulators ensure that they operate in a fair and open financial services sector. I view that as an important part of my job.
