On the basis of a positive assessment by the institutions, which concluded that the authorities have implemented the first set of four measures in a timely and overall satisfactory manner and which confirmed that the Euro Summit statement has been included in the preamble to the implementing law adopted by the Greek parliament, we reached today a decision to grant in principle a 3-year ESM stability support to Greece, subject to the completion of relevant national procedures.

Statement On The Anniversary Of The Dodd-Frank Act, Chair Mary Jo White, July 16, 2015

Date 16/07/2015

Five years ago, the Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law to address critical issues that triggered the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.  Thousands of Americans had lost their jobs, watched their savings dwindle, and were forced out of their homes.  The Commission and our fellow regulators have been working hard to strengthen our nation’s financial systems by implementing the rules mandated by the Dodd-Frank Act and by enacting other critical reforms to protect investors and our markets.  I especially want to thank the expert, hard-working SEC staff for their dedication to these efforts to build a lasting regulatory regime for a robust financial system that supports the broader U.S. economy.
