Schumer provided six principles for the overhaul of the current financial regulatory system:

    1. Focus on controlling systemic risk and ensuring stability
    2. Unify and simplify the regulatory structure
    3. Regulate any unregulated markets, for example exotics and CDS
    4. Create a global solution for reform
    5. Increase transparency
    6. Change the current laissez-faire approach to regulation of the current administration

  • There is no date or timeline for implementation of the Asset Purchase Program under TARP.  It, along with details regarding the program, will be at the discretion of Secretary Paulson.
  • Kashkari noted that AIG’s revised $150 billion program, announced Sunday night, is a one-off investment under TARP and was determined to be necessary to maintain financial stability.  It does not imply an expansion of the institutions able to participate in TARP, nor is it an indication of a new program under TARP.
  • A private bank application form is being created; its deadline for application will be extended.
  • Solicitation for asset managers for the bank investments were published this past Friday.  Applications are due November 13.
