This panel will bring together four former senior policymakers from the SEC or CFTC to discuss the current state of U.S. financial regulation. They will cover foundational concepts such as: the importance of evidence and data-based regulation; the need for regulators to recognize and appropriately adapt to changes in technology and markets; and effective enforcement. These former officials will also offer views on regulatory opportunities to further strengthen and increase the competitiveness of financial markets—while maintaining investor protections. The discussion will also cover several of the “hot button” policy topics of the day, such as disclosure rules for companies and crypto regulation.
