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.

Yet, a major flaw in Dodd-Frank imposed indemnification obligations on overseas regulators in order to share this critical information, which has been preventing international data sharing for swaps transactions. As a result, seven years after the financial crisis, regulators still do not have full transparency into global counterparty credit exposure that Dodd-Frank was designed to provide.
