On the campaign trail, President-elect Trump endorsed competing ideas on Wall Street reform, citing a desire to roll back Dodd-Frank while also promoting the idea of a “21st Century Glass-Steagall.” Financial regulation expert Aaron Klein notes the importance of Mr. Trump’s appointments as an indication of the administration’s position—specifically at the Federal Reserve—where these reforms will come to life. Klein also discusses coordination across global banks and a potential public-private coalition to support new infrastructure projects.
“In the world of financial regulation, policy is personnel.”
