Regulatory reform: lessons from the front line, 19th Annual Hyman P. Minsky Conference on the State of the U. S. and World Economies Organized by the Levy Economic Institute of Bard College, New York, New York, April 14, 2010

Abstract: In a speech at the Minsky Conference on the State of the U.S. and World Economies, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President and CEO Sandra Pianalto discussed consolidated supervision, an important, but sometimes overlooked, aspect of regulatory reform. She also described the criteria that she thinks should be used to define systemically important institutions and discussed a framework for ensuring financial firms are effectively supervised based on the risk they pose to the financial system. She concluded with an explanation of why it is vitally important for the Federal Reserve to remain significantly involved in the supervision of banking firms of all sizes.
