Chairman Speech
Description
Ben Bernanke (FOMC Voting Member) Speaks on the Dodd-Frank Act, before the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, U.S. Senate
Highlights
Chairman Bernanke's prepared remarks on Dodd-Frank did not directly address current monetary policy. His remarks were general in nature on the legislation but did act as a reminder of the severity of the recent financial crisis.
"Chairman Johnson, Ranking Member Shelby, and other members of the Committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify on the first anniversary of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act). "
"On this anniversary, it is worth reminding ourselves of why the Congress passed sweeping financial reforms a year ago. The financial crisis of 2008-09 was unprecedented in its scope and severity. Some of the world's largest financial firms collapsed or nearly did so, sending shock waves through the highly interconnected global financial system. Critical financial markets came under enormous stress. Asset prices fell sharply and flows of credit to American families and businesses were disrupted. The crisis, in turn, wreaked havoc on the U.S. and global economies, causing sharp declines in production and trade and putting millions out of work. Extraordinary actions by authorities around the world helped stabilize the situation, but, nearly three years later, the recovery from the crisis in the United States and in many other countries remains far from complete."
"In response to the crisis, we have seen a comprehensive re-thinking and reform of financial regulation, both in the United States and around the world."
