Enhancing Data Connectivity in the Financial Services Sector

The financial services firms of the U.S.-Japan Business Council view data connectivity as a means to connect to their customers, manage risks, and ultimately provide critical services to individuals, businesses, and governments around the world. We strongly believe that data connectivity translates directly to economic growth, supports financial stability, and facilitates financial regulators’ access to financial-risk related data that is needed to ensure macroeconomic stability and soundness. Despite strong evidence to support these assertions, financial services firms often find themselves confronted with regulatory efforts that impede data connectivity, risking financial stability and market integrity.

Growth Engine

It is important that the Executive Branch and Congress work together, regardless of party, to shape policies needed to spur and sustain such a broad-based recovery. Issues left untended for years, such as structural regulatory reform, should be tackled expeditiously. New issues that can provide a generational leap, such as digital assets, need to be addressed with dispatch and speed.

The Utah Statement

Commentary: What is the Utah Statement? Critics of antitrust have been tough to pin down, they have often spoken in grand and emotionally loaded terms, leveled vague criticisms, all while being cagey about what they really want. Last year, following an antitrust conference in Utah last year, they finally responded with clarity over what they seek to accomplish. One can draw a straight line from this statement to the House staff antitrust report released nearly a year later. The Utah Statement lays out the path to dangerously overhaul America’s antitrust laws, seeking to remove the important role of economic analysis in antitrust enforcement and incorporate multiple political and regulatory goals into antitrust. This is essentially a “Swiss-Army” knife approach to a field that has succeeded largely because it is carefully focused on the single over-arching goal of protecting the dynamic competitive process.
