Technology can also help consumers better manage their use of credit by
providing information and options at the most relevant times to them.
For example, the CFPA should have authority, after considering the
costs and benefits of such a measure, to require issuers to warn
consumers who use a debit card at the point of sale or ATM machines
that doing so would overdraft their account. The CFPA should also
promote adoption of innovations in point-of-sale technology, such as
allowing consumers who use a credit card to choose a payment plan for
the purchase.Even if disclosures are fully tested and all
communications are properly balanced, product complexity itself can
lead consumers to make costly errors. A careful regulatory approach can
tilt the scales in favor of simpler, less risky products while
preserving choice and innovation. “Plain vanilla” mortgages, whether
they have fixed or adjustable interest rates, should be easy for
consumers to understand.

For the better part of the past decade, the world economy has been
dominated by a unique geoeconomic constellation that the authors call
"Chimerica": a world economic order that combined Chinese export-led
development with U.S. overconsumption on the basis of a financial
marriage between the world's sole superpower and its most likely future
rival. For China, the key attraction of the relationship was its
potential to propel the Chinese economy forward by means of export-led
growth. For the United States, Chimerica meant being able to consume
more, save less, and still maintain low interest rates and a stable
rate of investment. Yet, like many another marriage between a saver and
a spender, Chimerica was not destined to last. In this paper, economic
historians Niall Ferguson of HBS and Moritz Schularick of Freie
Universität Berlin consider the problem of global imbalances and try to
set events in a longer-term perspective.

proposal would impose record keeping and reporting requirements on all
OTC derivatives. We also propose to strengthen the prudential
regulation of all dealers in the OTC derivative markets and to reduce
systemic risk in these markets by requiring all standardized OTC
derivative transactions to be executed in regulated and transparent
venues and cleared through regulated central counterparties.We propose
to enhance the Federal Reserve’s authority over market infrastructure
to reduce the potential for contagion among financial firms and
markets. Finally, we propose to harmonize the statutory and regulatory
regimes for futures and securities. While differences exist between
securities and futures markets, manydifferences in regulation between
the markets may no longer be justified.

Bankruptcy is and will remain the dominant tool for handling the
failure of a BHC, unless the special resolution regime is triggered
because of concerns about financial stability .The proposed resolution
regime is modeled on the “systemic risk exception” contained within the
existing FDIC resolution regime. This exception allows the FDIC to
depart from the least cost resolution standard, when financial
stability is at risk. Like that authority, the authority that we
propose here would be only for extraordinary times and would be subject
to very strict governance and control procedures. We propose a formal
process for deciding whether use of this special resolution regime is
necessary for a particular firm and determining the form that the
resolution process for the firm should take. The process could be
initiated by Treasury or the Federal Reserve.In addition, the process
could be initiated by the FDIC, or, by the SEC, when the largest
subsidiary of the failing firm is a broker-dealer or securities firm.

As we have witnessed during this crisis, financial stress can spread
easily and quickly across national boundaries. Yet, regulation is still
set largely in a national context.Without consistent supervision and
regulation, financial institutions will tend to move their activities
to jurisdictions with looser standards, creating a race to the bottom
and intensifying systemic risk for the entire global financial system.
The United States is playing a strong leadership role in efforts to
coordinate international financial policy through the G-20, the
Financial Stability Board, and the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision.

Accrual accounting: Expenses and revenue are matched, providing a
company with a better idea of how much it's spending to operate each
month and how much profit it's making. Expenses are recorded (or
accrued) in the month incurred, even if the cash isn't paid out until
the next month. Revenues are recorded in the month the project is
complete or the product is shipped, even if the company hasn't yet
received the cash from the customer.

Fourth, investment banks operated with insufficient government
oversight. Money market mutual funds were vulnerable to runs. Hedge
funds and other private pools of capital operated completely outside of
the supervisory framework.To create a new foundation for the regulation
of financial institutions, we will promote more robust and consistent
regulatory standards for all financial institutions. Similar financial
institutions should face the same supervisory and regulatory standards,
with no gaps, loopholes, or opportunities for arbitrage.We propose the
creation of a Financial Services Oversight Council, chaired by
Treasury, to help fill gaps in supervision, facilitate coordination of
policy and resolution of disputes, and identify emerging risks in firms
and market activities. This Council would include the heads of the
principal federal financial regulators and would maintain a permanent
staff at Treasury.
