Dodd-Frank Derivatives Reform: Challenges Facing U.S. and International Markets
Dec 6, 2012
Dodd-Frank Implementation
The Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, also known as the Dodd-Frank Act, is sweeping legislation that will affect every segment of our financial markets. Title VII of Dodd-Frank deals with derivatives, which are financial tools that allow businesses across the country to manage the risks they face every day. These end-users played no role in the financial crisis, but could nevertheless face significant impacts from the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act.
The House Agriculture Committee is working to ensure that Dodd-Frank regulations are balanced and do not impose undue burdens on America's businesses.
