CME Group released the following statement in response to the proposed U.S. financial regulatory reform proposals announced today by the Obama Administration:
"CME Group believes that the proposal to enhance regulation of systemic risk is an important effort to limit the potential for a recurrence of the recent financial crisis. Overall, we support many of the concepts and believe this is a significant step towards restoring confidence in the integrity of financial markets. We look forward to working with the administration and regulators to assure that the implementation of the details of the proposal are consistent with effective regulation of our markets and of the economy."
