Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Bowen Regarding Part 45 Cleared Swap Reporting NPRM

Date 19/08/2015

I strongly support this proposed rulemaking because reporting is one of the key pillars of the financial reform mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Dodd-Frank Act was intended to stabilize our financial system after the 2008 crisis by reducing systemic risk, increasing transparency, and promoting market integrity within the financial system. Having accurate, comprehensive data is essential to meeting all of these goals. Without useful data about our markets, the Commission is unable to fully assess systemic risk and monitor market integrity. Accurate data does not only support financial reform, accurate data is itself a critical part of financial reform.
