How Many Banking Crises Until We Rein in Wall Street Pay? 

A year after the 2023 regional banking crisis-and almost 14 years after the statutory mandate was enacted post 2008 global banking crisis-we still do not have a rule in place to protect consumers, depositors, and the public from executives’ excessive risk-taking. In the wake of last year’s banking crisis, many renewed their call on regulators to finalize section 956 of the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, which requires six agencies to promulgate a rule banning incentive-based executive pay that incentivizes inappropriate risk-taking at financial institutions.
In this video, you'll hear SEC Commissioner Lizárraga and experts from labor unions and advocacy organizations talk about the urgent need to reform how bankers and other financial institution executives get paid.
