Commercial Banks Savings institutions
Current top priorities as we perceive them
• Inform banks and represent their views on myriad issues
o Regulatory relief, especially Basel III, QM and DFA regulations
o Public understanding of ability to lend, realities of foreclosures…
• Stop continual expansion of tax advantaged competitors: credit unions,
Farm Credit System…
o Fair competition by nonbanks – in all areas: taxation, CRA,
safety/soundness …
• Improve the image of banking by correcting misperceptions
• Better educate and inform bankers
