Federal Reserve Bank of New York President and CEO William Dudley delivered remarks to attendees of the Evolving Structure of the US Treasury Market: Third Annual Conference. President Dudley’s remarks focused on the four priorities that were outlined in the Joint Staff Report on the Treasury flash event that occurred on October 15, 2014. These priorities include an increased need for collaboration between the public and private sectors with regard to Treasury market structure which will allow for a better understanding of the evolution of the Treasury market. The second priority discussed by President Dudley was increased data transparency regarding activities in the cash market which he argued will promote a robust and safe Treasury market, and allow for more timely response to issues that arise. A third, and related, priority raised by President Dudley is the market practices and risks associated with the Treasury market, noting that the opacity of the clearance and settlement practices can lead to information asymmetry and mispricing of risks. Finally, President Dudley discussed the importance of interagency monitoring of the Treasury market.
