Treasury Secretary Scott Bessin, Federal President Jerome Powell, and many economists agree that some changes can help banks and mediators keep more treasury in the market stress times.

Capital requirements aim to guarantee banks, especially those that are considered “greater than failing”, can survive if they are exposed to heavy losses. Jpmorgan was one of a few major lenders who did not need to be controversial Government rescue In 2008-but Damon took money anyway when Treasury Secretary insisted at the time, Henry Bolson.
The Treasury market helps the global round of the economy, and closely monitors Wall Street signs that the Federal Reserve may have to intervene.

“When you have a lot of volatile markets, very wide spread and low liquidity in the cabinet, it affects all other capital markets. This is the reason why you will do so, and it is not a good for banks themselves,” Damon said.
