Topic: Will the Volcker Rule Impact You?

The Volcker Rule, named after former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, is a component of the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010. The proposed rule is generally designed to protect banks from making proprietary investments that could potentially damage the financial sector or the broader U.S. markets. This includes the stipulation that banks could not make proprietary investments in their own securities, and many are concerned that this will significantly decrease market liquidity. So, what does this mean for the municipal bond market? During this installment of the CDFA-BNY Mellon Development Finance Webcast Series, hear from expert analysts as they examine current discussions on the Volcker Rule and what changes, if any, the capital markets will see once the Rule is implemented.
