Opening Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Dawn D. Stump Before The Global Markets Advisory Committee Meeting

Date 15/04/2019

Good morning and welcome to the first Global Markets Advisory Committee meeting of 2019.

 I am excited to sponsor the GMAC, and believe that the importance of the Committee in today’s increasingly interconnected marketplace cannot be overstated.  The objectives of the GMAC are many, and include helping the Commission determine how it can avoid unnecessary regulatory or operational impediments to global business while still preserving core protections for customers and other market participants.  Another objective of the GMAC is to assist the Commission in assessing the impact on U.S. markets and firms of the Commission's international efforts and the initiatives of foreign regulators and market authorities.  Given today’s global marketplace and the multinational nature of business, I believe that the reconstitution of the GMAC has come at a critical time.
