Public pensions under stress
Carlson, John B. (2012-04)
The financial crisis has made it all too clear that regulators failed to see into the dark corners of the financial system. With that in mind, the Federal Reserve Banks of Cleveland and Atlanta have formed a Financial Monitoring Team to study pension funds and municipal finance with an eye toward implications for the wider economy and financial system. What concerns should we have? In this article and other articles from this spring issue of Forefront, we explain where risks could be building and how reforms might help forestall their impact on the broader economy and financial system.

The future of financial market regulation
anonymous (2011-01)
Last summer, Congress approved the most sweeping reforms to the financial market regulatory system since the Great Depression with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. But that was only the beginning. Now come the details?hammering out more than 250 rules among 11 different regulatory agencies (the Federal Reserve itself is responsible for developing more than 50 new rules). Many of the rules are geared toward the same goal?preventing a replay of the financial crisis that crippled the economy from 2007 through 2009.

Regulating the raters: Key provisions in proposed reforms
Fitzpatrick, Thomas J. (2010-01)
Credit rating organizations such as Moody's and Standard & Poor's have been counted on to provide investors with impartial assessments of companies' creditworthiness, and some have relied on CROs instead of due diligence. Reforms are needed but if regulators have rule-writing authority, they can use flexibility and creativity rather than just legislation.
