Banks and industry representatives are asking whether the proposed long-term liquidity rule properly takes into account the risk profiles of certain assets, the interaction with other liquidity rules, and even whether the regulation is needed at all.

Those wanting to break up banks act as though policymakers had no regulatory response to the crisis, but here’s an illustration of how actual reforms would have prevented a large failure.

WASHINGTON — The Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 has not had a negative impact on community banks, contrary to assertions by Republicans and many bankers, according to a group of White House economists.

American International Group Chief Executive Peter Hancock said he's more focused on boosting returns than worrying about the government's classification of his company as a systemically important financial institution.

The solution to "too big to fail" is requiring all creditors, other than insured depositors, to face the risk of loss so that neither the FDIC nor taxpayers lose any money.

In a political season teeming with tension around income inequality, racial economic disparities and animus toward the banking industry, reforming the Community Reinvestment Act seems like it should be a cornerstone of the debate. Yet the law has been almost entirely absent from the discussion. Here's why.

The Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 was an unexpected and prominent part of the Democratic and Republican conventions this year, as both parties added a call to reinstate the law as part of their party platforms. But that will be easier said than done, considering that lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have shown little interest in the idea. Following is a look at how a Depression-era law found its way to Cleveland and Philadelphia.

It's part of the Democratic platform, but lawmakers at the convention here are skeptical of embracing a plan to restore the Glass-Steagall Act, unsure what it would look like.

Sens. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will ensure big banks do not again threaten the financial system.

Donald Trump's decision to embrace the reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall Act is part of an effort to cast him as the champion of community banks, according to his top advisers.
