Date 27/07/2022

I support the Commission’s efforts for strong capital requirements and financial reporting to help ensure the safety and soundness of swap dealers whose activities could affect U.S. markets, including through this proposed Capital Comparability Determination for Japan.

Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero Regarding The Proposal To Strengthen he Resilience Of Clearinghouses To Future Risk

Date 27/07/2022

I support the Commission’s efforts to strengthen the resilience of clearing houses to future risk, including through this proposed rule. Since the 2008 financial crisis, I have spent my entire career in federal public service helping our nation recover and build a stronger, safer, more resilient financial system. I have seen how clearing houses play an important public interest role – one of critical market infrastructure that fosters financial stability, trust, and confidence in U.S. markets. The Financial Stability Oversight Council (“FSOC”) has recognized this public interest role, designating several clearing houses as systemically important Financial Market Utilities. FSOC’s designation highlights the important role that the Commission plays in the oversight of clearing houses.

Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Summer K. Mersinger Regarding Open Meeting On July 27, 2022

Date 27/07/2022

It is hard to describe how humbling it is to sit on the dais at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC or Commission) today among this distinguished group and where many extraordinary individuals have sat before us. When I first walked into this room three years ago and witnessed the collegial debate and deliberation that occurred on this dais during Open Meetings, I honestly did not imagine that one day my name would be on this placard and I would occupy this seat. But we do not always know the destination when we first step onto a new path. There are four wonderful individuals seated up here with me whom I have had the good fortune to get to know along this path, as well as the dedicated CFTC staff, including the teams we will hear from today.

In the current scenario of an uncertain financial environment amid rising inflation rates, ongoing Covid-19, and geopolitical conflicts, investors have been increasingly looking into stocks of companies that pay higher dividends to shareholders.
