• Today’s Policy Agenda– Strengthen supervision and regulation– Address systemic risk
• Looking Forward
2
Key Factors Leading to the Crisis: Erosion of Regulatory Standards
• Weak Capital Standards/High Leverage– Amounts, quality and cyclicality of capital
• Weak Liquidity Standards– High levels of uninsured short-term funding susceptible to panic– Deposit insurance is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition
• Weak Underwriting Standards– Low down payments, weak documentation, etc. fuel excessive
lending and housing bubble– Consumer, business and government debt levels– Fuels boom-to-bust cycles
3
Key Factors Leading to the Crisis: Structural Weaknesses
• Complexity, Lack of Transparency– Lack of trust contributes to panic– Inability to differentiate between institutions– New market instruments contribute to the downward
spiral in the value of collateral once the bubble bursts
• Gaps in Financial Regulatory Oversight– Shadow banking system – MMMFs, SIVs, etc.– Interdependencies/Systemic risk
4
Today’s Policy Agenda (1)
• Strengthen Bank Supervision/Regulation– Capital standards, Liquidity standards– Volcker rule– Consumer/Investor protection
• Address Systemic Risk– Systemic risk regulator– Higher regulatory standards for SIFIs– Develop effective bank resolution mechanisms– Better cross border coordination– Central clearing houses for OTC derivatives
5
Today’s Policy Agenda (2)
• Enhance Market Discipline– Greater transparency– End Too-Big-To-Fail
• Housing Reform?– Government support for Fannie/Freddie– Loan Modifications/ Foreclosures
6
Looking Forward• We are at the early stages of financial reform implementation –
unclear whether long-term or short-term perspectives will prevail
• There will be many unintended consequences as reform measures are implemented
• One likely result will be a smaller, more expensive, financial system
• Financial crises will remain a fact of life
• Regulators will need sufficient authority and flexibility to deal with these events
