2015 CFTC Regulatory Agenda

As 2015 is now underway, we wanted to highlight some of the potential regulatory developments from the CFTC that may arise in the new year.

Overall we expect 2015 to be a year of continued CFTC implementation of the Dodd-Frank rules and related "tweaks" to those rules to address the concerns of end-users and market participants.

At the end of last year, the Office of Management and Budget published the regulatory agenda for the CFTC. Although additional items will likely arise and the CFTC may not get to every entry, the agenda gives us a good view of the CFTC's regulatory priorities for the next year. The agenda is available here, and we highlight a few items of note below.
