FOR YOUR INFORMATION The IIB testified in support of several swap bills at a March 28th hearing of a House Agriculture subcommittee,  including H.R. 3283, the Swap Jurisdiction Certainty Act, which makes certain that internationally headquartered banks’ non-U.S. swap and security-based swap transactions will not be subject to U.S. regulatory requirements, and H.R. 1838, which favorably addresses the swap “push out” provision (Section 716) of DFA by resolving the disparate treatment of uninsured U.S. branches/agencies of foreign banks vis-à-vis U.S. insured depository institutions.  Testifying on behalf of the IIB was Keith Bailey, Managing Director in the Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities Division of Barclays.  The House Financial Services Committee approved H.R. 1838 in a bipartisan vote on February 16th.   PUBLICATIONS Weekly Bulletin 2011 Annual Global Survey  Institute Focus & News  Economic Benefits Study   MEMBERS ONLY DFA Implementation Status Report  Member profile  Institute Memoranda And Other Documents on Key Legislative, Regulatory and Tax Issues  Schedule of Board of Trustees and Committee Meetings
