Trends and Challenges for the Financial Services Sector:

• Actions by governments and central banks following the financial crisis to reduce interest rates, help recapitalize major banks, and get credit flowing more normally were necessary steps toward restoring confidence in the banking system, although they have not yet produced their full effect.
• Financial markets need stability and an effective regulatory and supervisory framework.

USCIB’s Response:

• Develop recommendations for governments and international organizations on international economic and financial policy, investment, and debt, U.S. monetary and exchange rate policies, and structural issues
• Provide a forum for the exchange of information and ideas on U.S. and international economic policy issues.

• Support WTO negotiations that include all aspects of financial services, emphasizing transparency of existing rules, regulatory reform and liberalization of barriers.
