Statement Of CFTC Commissioner J. Christopher Giancarlo On Enactment Of The FAST Act

Date 07/12/2015

At the very center of the 2008 financial crisis was a lack of regulatory visibility into the extent of counterparty credit risk of major banks and financial institutions in global financial markets.
