Description
Ten years after its passage, the Dodd-Frank Act remains the subject of much debate. The COVID-19 financial shock of March-April 2020 provides the first opportunity to move beyond the theoretical debate and actually examine the data to assess how the legislation performed in a crisis.
This panel will discuss the impact of Dodd-Frank on financial regulation and whether Dodd-Frank enhanced the stability and operation of the U.S. financial system in the lead up to and during the COVID-19 financial shock. It will discuss what Dodd-Frank got right and where it fell short of its goals. The panelists include former congressional staff who played key roles in Congress’ consideration of the legislation.

Description
From the 1970’s to the passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act in 1998, financial regulation in the U.S. moved from enforcing a highly decentralized banking system through significant activity and branching restrictions, to facilitating the growth of national and global banking institutions that offer a broad range of lending, underwriting, and insurance services. However, this trend came to an end following the 2009 financial crisis when the Dodd-Frank Act imposed new activity and other prudential restrictions on banks.
This panel will discuss what should be the direction of U.S. financial regulation going forward. Specifically, how should U.S. financial regulation be reformed to ensure that the U.S. has the world’s leading financial system? The panel will discuss the appropriate role of prudential regulation, how regulation should accommodate innovation, the best means for carrying out consumer protection, how to foster competition and inclusion, and the proper governance for regulatory agencies.
