Abstract: Abstract Several economists were of the view that the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act along with relatively light regulation of financial intermediaries and financial markets by the supervisory agencies were the two principal contributing factors behind the global financial crisis of 2008.1 Attempts to redress this culminated in the passage of one of the most comprehensive pieces of financial legislation ever tackled by the U.S. Congress, in 2010. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, usually referred to as the Dodd-Frank Act, was “an Act to promote the financial stability of the United States by improving accountability and transparency in the financial system, to end ‘too big to fail’, to protect the American taxpayer by ending bailouts, to protect consumers from abusive financial services practices, and for other purposes.”2
