  • Statement From Commissioner J. Christopher Giancarlo: Reconsidering The CFTC’s Swaps Trading Rules For Greater Effectiveness In The Global Economy

    Date 12/11/2014

    Preface:

    I was invited to speak at the SEFCON V conference being hosted today by the Wholesale Markets Brokers’ Association, Americas (WMBAA). However, under Executive Order 13490, also known as President Obama’s Ethics Pledge, I am prohibited from speaking at SEFCON because of my past association with the WMBAA and because a fee is charged to attend the conference. I applied to the White House for a waiver to speak, but was denied, and I respect that decision. However, given the importance of the subject matter being discussed at SEFCON to the U.S. swaps market, if I had been permitted to speak at the conference, this is the speech I would have delivered.
