Last week, Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr gave a speech entitled, "Supporting Market Resilience and Financial Stability," which suggested that regulators will be taking a harder look at uninsured bank deposits. He states, "[W]e have made important progress since last year's conference. The Securities and Exchange Commission has finalized a rule on central clearing of Treasury transactions, the Treasury Department has instituted a program for buying back less-liquid Treasury securities, and the Office of Financial Research is preparing for its permanent collection of data on non-centrally-cleared bilateral repurchase agreement (repo) transactions, which will support our understanding of this market segment as it evolves."
