Statement At Open Meeting Regarding A Rule Proposal On Money Market Fund Reform By SEC Commissioner Troy A. Paredes

Date 05/06/2013

Thank you, Chair White.

The Commission, given its experience, expertise, and mission, is best positioned to shape the regulation of money market funds. The Commission has continued to consider additional money market fund reforms beyond those we adopted in 2010 before Dodd-Frank was even enacted. We have made good progress since last summer because of the hard work of the Commission staff, and I believe that the Commission would have moved forward with a rulemaking even without FSOC’s intervention.
