Dodd-Frank Rulemaking Resource Center



Position

The financial industry has long been supportive of financial regulatory reform. SIFMA, on behalf of its members, looks forward to the opportunity to work with legislators and regulators to implement the Dodd-Frank Act through the rulemaking process. Implementation must uphold the original spirit and intent of the legislation to safeguard our financial system, without constraining capital formation, credit availability, and the financial industry's ability to contribute to economic growth and job creation.
