Blueprint for a Modernized Financial Regulatory Structure

< BACK

The Administration is committed to maintaining America’s leading role in the global capital markets through the Treasury Department’s capital markets competitiveness action plan.  As part of this plan, Treasury is working to prepare a blueprint that seeks a rationalized regulatory structure that can adapt to the dynamic U.S. marketplace while improving oversight.  Treasury believes it is important to continue to evaluate our regulatory structure to consider ways to improve efficiency, reduce overlap, strengthen consumer and investor protection, and ensure that financial institutions have the ability to keep pace with evolving markets. The Department's review of the financial regulatory structure will focus on all types of financial institutions: commercial banks and other insured depository institutions, insurance companies, securities firms, futures firms, and other types of financial intermediaries.
