  • Implementation Of The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, And Consumer Protection Act, Federal Reserve Vice Chairman For Supervision Randal K. Quarles, Before The Committee On Banking, Housing, And Urban Affairs, U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C.

    Date 01/10/2018

    Chairman Crapo, Ranking Member Brown, and members of the Committee, I appreciate this opportunity to testify on the Federal Reserve's implementation of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA or the Act). The Act calls on the federal banking agencies to aid in promoting economic growth by further tailoring regulation to better reflect the character of the different banking firms that we supervise. While recognizing that the core objectives of the post-crisis regime--higher and better quality capital, stronger liquidity, and increased resolvability--have contributed to reducing the likelihood of another severe financial crisis, the Act also acknowledges that we should be seeking to improve the efficiency with which we achieve these objectives, and gives the federal banking agencies the task of executing the thoughtful detail work necessary to enhance that efficiency.

  • Statement Of FIA President And CEO Walt Lukken On The CFTC's Cross-Border White Paper

    Date 01/10/2018

    FIA President and CEO Walt Lukken today made the following statement on the Cross-Border White Paper released today by CFTC Chairman Giancarlo:

    “I applaud CFTC Chairman Chris Giancarlo’s effort to rethink the manner in which cross-border regulations are applied to the derivatives markets.  The derivatives industry is global in nature, so it is imperative that international regulators come together to design a coherent regulatory framework that recognizes this fact.  The deference model utilized by the futures markets has worked extraordinarily well over the thirty years of its existence, even during times of crisis.  FIA agrees that a similar recognition model would benefit the broader swaps industry without jeopardizing the safety and soundness of our marketplace.  FIA looks forward to providing input on the upcoming rulemakings that will implement these proposed approaches.
