Dodd Frank Turns 5

July 21, 2015 marked the 5th anniversary of President Obama signing the Dodd-Frank Act into law. Even though the Act is more than 800 pages in length, it is the Act’s 390 rulemaking requirements and the 307 proposed and final rules issued by Federal agencies to date that make up the vast bulk of new law and regulation affecting the U.S. financial system. The 22,296 pages of rulemakings and 631 regulatory releases touch on nearly every aspect of the U.S. economy, from requiring revisions to mortgage disclosures to providing transparency in the derivatives markets.

To highlight the 5th anniversary, we have developed a stats-driven infographic looking at the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act, to date, and have updated our quarterly Dodd-Frank Progress report.
