Concurring Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Sharon Y. Bowen Regarding The Order Exempting The Federal Reserve Banks From Sections 4d And 22 Of The Commodity Exchange Act And Written Acknowledgment Of Customer Funds From Federal Reserve Banks

Date 08/08/2016

I am pleased to concur with the two Commission actions: the “Order Exempting the Federal Reserve Banks from Sections 4d and 22 of the Commodity Exchange Act” and “Written Acknowledgment of Customer Funds from Federal Reserve Banks.” I have long believed that, in order to protect customer funds, we need to keep that money at our central bank. In the event of a major market event, I, and I believe the rest of the American people, would feel much better knowing that investors’ money is at the Federal Reserve instead of at multiple central counterparties. I am glad that our agency and the Federal Reserve have come to an agreement on an effective way to accomplish this.
