米次期大統領、SEC新委員長を内定（ロイターより）

Biden to name Gary Gensler as U.S. SEC chair, sources say

バイデン次期米大統領が、米商品先物取引委員会の元委員長、Gary Gensler氏を、SECの新しい委員長として任命するという記事。

Gary Gensler will be named chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by President-elect Joe Biden, said two sources familiar with the matter, an appointment likely to prompt concern among Wall Street firms of tougher regulation.

Gensler氏は、バイデン次期大統領の金融業監督に関する移行計画を率いている人物だそうです。

Gensler was chair of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) from 2009 to 2014, and since November has led Biden’s transition planning for financial industry oversight.

同氏の任命により、トランプ大統領が選んだJay Clayton委員長のもとで、金融業界や上場会社が享受してきた規則の緩和の動きに終止符が打たれることになると予想されています。

His appointment as the country’s top securities regulator is expected to put an end to the four years of rule-easing that Wall Street banks, brokers, funds and public companies have enjoyed under President Donald Trump’s SEC chair Jay Clayton.
