Remarks By US Assistant Secretary For Financial Markets Josh Frost At The International Swaps And Derivatives Association Derivatives Trading Forum

And the title of today’s forum – “The Path to Resilient Treasury Markets” – seems exactly right to me. The use of the word “path” reminds me of the efforts undertaken over most of the past decade. Resilient Treasury markets are not a static endpoint; they are a journey towards a shared goal and responsibility of the Treasury, the broader official sector, and market participants.
