The election of President Donald J. Trump created not only uncertainty of policy, but also certainty of change. The President's policies on financial regulation, and on economic regulation generally, remain largely undefined. As campaign rhetoric gives way to on-the-ground realities, it is likely that President Trump's final proposals will not align with his pre-election declarations. The real economic and political debate is just beginning.
Uncertainty has its upside: it is an opportunity for reexamination and discussion. For the last two Presidential terms, regulatory policy has been on a fixed course, and the policy debate seemed to center on how quickly additional regulations could be imposed. Now that change is here, President Trump is steering a new course and reopening the debate on financial regulatory policy despite the uncertainty.
The CCAT is intended to be a forum that lends expression to that debate. We hope that it will provide a vibrant platform on which ideas can clash. We hope it will be a "go-to," one-stop resource for all who want to follow the development of the law that will guide our markets. As always, we will continue to provide legal and policy commentaries as this story unfolds.
