Remarks Of CFTC Chairman Timothy Massad Before The Economic Club Of New York

Date 06/12/2016

Thank you so much. It is a great honor to be here today.

My focus today is the derivatives markets. Over the last six years, we have made a number of reforms to increase the openness, transparency and competitiveness of these markets—not just here in the U.S. but around the world. And those reforms are working. But with the impending change in our government, there is talk of repealing the Dodd-Frank Act. So I believe we face a choice: we can choose to refight the last war—that is, debate, and perhaps repeal everything we have put in place. Or we can recognize that while we should continue to fine-tune and improve these measures, we also need to focus on the challenges ahead.
