WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama laid out his vision for reshaping U.S. financial regulation on Wednesday, aiming to tighten oversight of large firms whose excessive risk-taking triggered a global economic slump.
The proposals, under development over the past six months are headed next for debate in the U.S. Congress and include closing one bank regulator and creating government watchdogs for big-picture economic risk and financial product safety.
The administration takes on tough jobs, such as forcing large firms to boost their capital cushions and regulating over-the-counter derivatives and securitized instruments.
But it only partially tackles a task once seen as vital -- a top-to-bottom revamp of financial regulatory agencies.
No merger of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is being proposed, for instance, due largely to political obstacles.
