Statement by the Secretary of the Treasury
July 5, 2017

Washington, D.C. – Secretary of the Treasury Steven T. Mnuchin released the following
statement on the Financial CHOICE Act:
“As Secretary, I am committed to policies that will ensure sustained economic growth that is

driven by Main Street and not held back by Washington. The existing regulatory system is
limiting, not stimulating our economy. At the Treasury, we are focused on delivering regulatory
relief that encourages banks to provide the capital and liquidity needed to create jobs and
opportunities for growth, and that provides protection against taxpayer-funded bailouts.
I applaud the steady commitment and leadership that Chairman Hensarling and his colleagues
have provided on these issues, and welcome the reintroduction of the CHOICE Act. While I
continue my work to implement the President’s executive order setting the core principles for
financial regulation, I look forward to working with Congress to both support and strengthen
our financial system and safeguard taxpayers."
