AFR in the News: Financial Reformers Counter Regional Bank Lobbying (PoliticoPro)

“Financial reform advocates,” according to PoliticoPro, “are ramping up lobbying against a push by regional banks to ease rules from the 2010 Dodd-Frank law.” While the banks argue that systemic-risk rules should be limited to a small group of the biggest and most complex banks, “Americans for Financial Reform says the failure of a large regional bank could be a big risk during a crisis,” writes Politico’s Zachary Warmbrodt, who goes on to quote from an AFR briefing paper on the subject.
