Remarks Before The Exchequer Club Of Washington, DC - CFTC Commissioner Jill E. Sommers

Date 19/10/2011

Good afternoon. Thank you for inviting me here today to discuss my perspective on the role of the CFTC in commodity futures and options markets, and more recently our role in the oversight and regulation of swap markets. Much of what the Commission has focused on over the last year has been directly related to implementing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. It has been a very complex process involving a great deal of coordination with other U.S. and foreign regulators. The further along we get in the implementation process, the more complex it is has become. To date, the Commission has held 20 public meetings to vote on various Dodd-Frank matters and has issued nearly 60 proposed rules, notices, or other requests seeking public comment, and 22 final rules, interim final rules, and exemptions.
