We are committed to tailoring our regulatory and supervisory regimes to align with the risk posed by financial institutions to the U.S. financial system. We are also continuing to evaluate whether our rules are sensitive to changes in the risk profile of banking organizations.
We want our rules both to increase in stringency as firms’ risks grow and, just as important, to decrease in stringency when firms have actively reduced their risk profiles. The Volcker Rule Let me turn now to the Volcker rule.
