Statement by Secretary Mnuchin on Regulatory Efforts to
Improve the Volcker Rule
June 5, 2018

Washington – U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin issued the following statement today

commending the e orts of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, the O ice of the Controller of the Currency, the Commodity
Futures Trading Commission, and the Securities and Exchange Commission for their respective
e orts in issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking to better tailor regulation implementing the
Volcker Rule:
“The notice issued today by the prudential banking and market regulators will meaningfully
improve the regulations that implement the Volcker Rule. The Treasury Department strongly
supports changes aimed at better tailoring the application of the rule, preserving liquidity
during periods of stress, decreasing unintended compliance burdens, and encouraging capital
formation.
“Regulatory coordination on Volcker, as articulated in Treasury’s recommendations

on

banking regulations, is essential. The five agencies responsible for regulation of the Volcker Rule
coming together on this notice is an important first step. These e orts are building on the relief
for Main Street borrowers and lenders included in the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and
Consumer Protection Act recently signed into law by President Trump.”
