Fed Chair Rejects Regulatory Roll-back

Financial Reforms Should be Refined, Not Repealed

Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet L. Yellen strongly defended post-crisis financial reforms, saying that new regulations have strengthened the U.S. financial markets and wholesale roll-back would be unwise. In remarks delivered at a symposium sponsored by the Fed in Jackson Hole, Wyoming Yellen made the case for the success of these reforms, summarizing indicators and research that show the improved resilience of the U.S. financial system, due, she said,  "importantly to regulatory reform as well as actions taken by the private sector.” She also addressed "evidence regarding how financial regulatory reform has affected economic growth, credit availability, and market liquidity.”
