(oder die „Volcker Rule“)
von Barack Obama
Good morning everybody.
Never again will the American taxpayer be held hostage by a bank that is „too big to fail.“
First, we should no longer allow banks to stray too far from their central mission of serving their customers.
The American people will not be served by a financial system that comprises just a few massive firms.
That’s not good for consumers; it’s not good for the economy.
Banks will no longer be allowed to own, invest, or sponsor hedge funds, private equity funds, or proprietary trading operations for their own profit, unrelated to serving their customers.
If financial firms want to trade for profit, that’s something they’re free to do.
Indeed, doing so –- responsibly –- is a good thing for the markets and the economy.
But these firms should not be allowed to run these hedge funds and private equities funds while running a bank backed by the American people.
So if these folks want a fight, it’s a fight I’m ready to have.
