WASHINGTON – A senior Treasury official will hold a background briefing ahead of next week’s one year anniversary of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The briefing will occur at 1:15 pm on Thursday, July 14, 2011 in the Media Room at the Department of Treasury.
Wall Street Reform was enacted in the aftermath of a crisis that cost millions of American jobs and erased trillions of dollars in savings. That law addresses key gaps and weaknesses in the pre-crisis financial system to help make future financial shocks less likely and less damaging. The senior Treasury official will speak about how the Dodd-Frank Act’s reforms are vital to restoring confidence and rebuilding a pro-growth, pro-investment financial system, as well as how efforts to scale back or repeal that law would put our economy at greater risk of another devastating financial crisis.
