Key U.S. Policy Priorities

President Obama to Announce Comprehensive Plan for Regulatory Reform

The President’s plan will:

* Require that all financial firms that pose a significant risk to the financial system at large are subjected to strong consolidated supervision and regulation

* Increase market discipline and transparency to make our markets strong enough to withstand system-wide stress and the potential failure of one or more large financial institutions

* Rebuild trust in our markets by creating the Consumer Financial Protection Agency to focus exclusively on protecting consumers in credit, savings, and payment markets.

* Provide the government with the tools needed to manage financial crises so it is not forced to choose between bailouts and financial collapse

* Raise international regulatory standards and improve international coordination

Secretary Clinton's Foreign Policy Address at the Council on Foreign Relations [...] "We want to seek global economic recovery and growth by strengthening our own economy, advancing a robust development agenda, expanding trade that is free and fair, and boosting investment that creates decent jobs. We want to combat climate change, increase energy security, and lay the foundation for a prosperous clean-energy future."
