Federal Reserve Chair Janet L. Yellen At The "Finance And Society," A Conference Sponsored By Institute For New Economic Thinking, Washington, D.C., May 6, 2015, Finance And Society

Date 06/05/2015

Let me begin by thanking the organizers for inviting me to participate in this important dialogue on the role of finance in society. The financial sector is vital to the economy.  A well-functioning financial sector promotes job creation, innovation, and inclusive economic growth.

Remarks Of CFTC Chairman Timothy G. Massad Before The European Union Parliament, Committee On Economics, Brussels, Belgium

Date 06/05/2015

Good afternoon, Chairman Gualtieri and members of the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee. Thank you for inviting me to participate in today’s exchange of views. I very much appreciate the opportunity to meet with you. I have wanted to come to Brussels for some time. Frankly, shortly after I took this job, I had expected we would solve this issue regarding equivalence and recognition of CCPs relatively quickly, and I would be coming over to finalize an agreement many months ago. Of course, it has taken us longer. However, I think we and the Commission continue to work together in good faith toward that goal and hopefully we can reach agreement soon.

Return Capital Markets To Their Natural Participants - Better Finance For All

Date 06/05/2015

Ever since the idea of a European Capital Markets Union (CMU) was revived in July 2014, there seems to be a consensus across the board that broadening and deepening EU Capital Markets - in order for these to complement the struggling and costly banking sector in the financing of the European economy – will be key to achieve the hitherto elusive growth Europe seeks.
