Gensler Repeats Prior Speech, More or Less, at FIA Expo

CFTC Chairman Gary Gensler delivered a speech (which is basically a repeat of the speech in yesterday's news at the Ontario Securities Commission) before the Futures Industry Association (FIA) Expo 2012 in Chicago, Illinois. Chairman Gensler reviewed three key initiatives that commissioners will finalize by the end of this year. These initiatives include: the clearing requirement, transparency reforms and the cross-border application of Dodd-Frank. Gensler also discussed enhancing customer protection and ensuring for the integrity of benchmark interest rates.
