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.” #### https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm0407 1/1
