212-286-0747 dbrecher@sh-law.comThe U.S. Department of Treasury recently published a report calling for widespread changes to the country’s federal financial regulations. The overhaul is intended to promote growth by loosening market restraints put in place after the financial crisis. In good news for startups and other growing businesses, the report devotes significant attention to promoting access to capital and investment opportunities.
The Treasury Department issued the report in response to President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 13772, entitled “Core Principles for Regulating the United States Financial System.” The current Treasury report is devoted exclusively to the capital markets, including debt, equity, commodities and derivatives markets, central clearing and other operational functions.
According to the Treasury, its review has “identified a wide range of measures that could promote economic growth and vibrant financial markets, providing opportunities for investors and issuers alike, while maintaining strong investor protection, preventing taxpayer-funded bailouts, and safeguarding the financial system.”
In response to the significant decrease in public companies and initial public offerings (IPOS), the Treasury makes recommendations to improve the attractiveness of going public when companies are seeking to raise capital. Acknowledging that an IPO may not be appropriate for many small enterprises, the report also considers recommendations to expand access to capital more broadly.
Below is a brief summary of several key proposals regarding how to promote access to capital and investment opportunities:
Given the role of the U.S. capital markets, any proposed changes that are enacted will have far-reaching impacts. For those who may be interested, the full Treasury report is available here. Businesses are also encouraged to consult with experienced counsel regarding how the many ongoing proposals to amend our financial regulations may impact their business plans.
