Failure to implement the Dodd-Frank provision that removes a government requirement of credit ratings on securities

01/02/2009

The foot dragging that has held up this change comes from the Treasury's Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Treasury Secretary Geithner said in a recent op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal that he would ask the President to veto any changes to the Dood-Frank legislation. The S.E.C. and other regulators have not made the changes as required by the reform law. A Wall Street Journal editorial on July 23, 2011, points to the failure to make this change by regulatory agencies.
