NERA Vice President Dr. Sharon Brown-Hruska participated in a webinar on 25 October 2011 that was hosted by the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP). The webinar examined the ramifications of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which is set to overhaul the derivatives trading infrastructure in the US, creating new incentives to execute trades on transparent platforms and settle transactions through centralized clearing. The ultimate results of the regulations may be difficult to assess, but the impact will reach beyond the financial sector, and trading in the commodities and energy industries will feel the effects. In this webinar, the third in GARP's series on the ramifications of the Dodd-Frank Act on capital markets, Dr. Brown-Hruska shared her insights on the potential pitfalls of the new rules.
