Dismantling Dodd-Frank? Regulatory Overhaul Redux

Over 22,000 pages of rules, six-and-a-half years of implementations, delays, and revisions, and an incalculable sum of money and man hours have gone into building a new market infrastructure that would comply with the sweeping requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act (DFA). All of this progress, however, has led to yet another chapter of regulatory turmoil.

This TABB Group report, Dismantling Dodd-Frank? Regulatory Overhaul Redux, examines what we know so far about the incoming Trump administration’s plan to ‘dismantle’ the sweeping legislation that is the DFA and to what extent this proposal might come to fruition. This is the first of a series of reports that will closely track any progress being made toward a wholesale repeal of the DFA or any scaling back of specific provisions of the law.
