Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero Before The Market Risk Advisory Committee - Continued Risk In Commodity And Derivatives Markets One Year Into Russia’s War On Ukraine

Date 08/03/2023

Thank you to the members of the Market Risk Advisory Committee (“MRAC”) for your service.  I want to recognize Commissioner Kristin Johnson for her leadership of MRAC and also recognize the staff for their work in bringing us together today.  The MRAC was created as the Commission was implementing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which fundamentally reformed the derivatives market structure.  It had transferred risks into clearinghouses, moved trading into new swaps platforms, and for the first time, imposed risk management, capital, and margin requirements on the largest dealers.  Markets were changing, and the risks in those markets were changing with them.
