Treasury’s Mary Miller Says Debt Ceiling Will Be Raised Before Aug. 2

In her prepared remarks, Miller said that in order for the U.S. to remain a desirable place to invest, a regulatory framework must be put in place to restore integrity to the financial markets and win the trust and confidence of Americans and global investors.

"The reputation of our financial system is at stake," Miller said. "Scaling back or repealing major parts of the Dodd-Frank Act, or not providing regulators with the funds they need to implement the act, will leave our economy exposed to a cycle of collapses and crises, with potentially devastating repercussions for businesses, for financial markets, and for all Americans. In the absence of the protections that the Dodd-Frank Act puts in place, our system descended into a crisis that has left deep scars on our nation."
