Washington, D.C., United States (AHN) – A new federal law to prevent major banks from disrupting the nation’s economy shows early signs that it is restoring the confidence of investors, according to witnesses at a Senate hearing Thursday.

The heads of financial regulatory agencies testified on progress of the Dodd-Frank Act on Financial Regulations, which President Barack Obama signed into law July 21.

“We’re certainly seeing movement in the right direction,” Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Ben Bernanke told the Senate Banking Committee.

The new law takes away some discretion of investment banks on how they invest their own and customers’ money. It also gives the government the right to take over a financial institution’s operations when it is close to a business collapse that could hurt the nation’s economy.

The law fulfills Obama’s pledge that he would not allow any more businesses to depend on government bailouts to save them when they make bad decisions.

Bernanke said some banks that halted their investments in new business during the recession that started in December 2007 are starting to re-invest.

However, they are timid after suffering severe losses.

“Given the fact we just came through a crisis, banks are not taking risks,” Bernanke said.

The financial crisis started largely as a result of banks loosening credit terms for home buyers to increase their revenue from mortgage payments.

As homeowners defaulted on the loans, bank failures caused $1.8 trillion in financial losses internationally.

The crisis also prompted the federal government to provide huge financial bailouts to companies such as investment firm Bear Stearns Cos. and insurance giant American International Group Inc.

Bernanke said the biggest challenge facing government regulators is ensuring they work under a single set of policies for the entire financial industry.

He has said previously the government focused its regulations on large public banks but overlooked the damage that could be caused by private investment companies.

The Dodd-Frank Act broadens government oversight of the financial industry to include private investment firms.

The Federal Reserve is writing 50 new regulations and working on 250 projects to comply with the new financial reform law.

“Given all these overlapping responsibilities, I think coordination will be extremely important,” Bernanke said.

The Federal Reserve plans to hand over some of its authority to a new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, which will ensure there will be no more banks that are what Obama called “too big to fail” without government bailouts.

“Work is well under way to transfer … responsibilities,” Bernanke said.

The Federal Reserve is scheduled to update Congress with more detail on how well financial bailouts helped restore the nation’s economy in a report due Dec. 1.

Other witnesses agreed that managing new responsibilities in the Dodd-Frank Act are their greatest challenge.

“We’re all sort of learning a new thing here,” said Gary Gensler, chairman of the Commodities Future Trading Commission.

Sen. Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.), chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, urged the agency chairmen to be careful in their decisions.

“You’ll set the tone for years to come,” he said.

Among projects of the regulatory agencies is the development of new economic models for predicting financial collapses. The old models failed to predict the housing bubble that led to the recession, according to economists.

“I think the key challenge over time is going to be how to assess system risks,” said John Walsh, the Treasury Department’s acting comptroller of the currency.

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (AHN) – The federal government of Canada will announce on Thursday that it will lift the freeze on Employment Insurance premiums. The freeze was part of the economic stimulus package offered by Ottawa to battle the recession.

The lifting of the freeze was originally scheduled Jan. 1, 2010, but the federal government listened to the warning from business leaders, labor representatives and the political opposition that the move would stymie Canada’s recovery.

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said Ottawa is still reviewing how much the EI rates would go up, but he hinted it would be less than the amount recommended by a rate setting board established by the federal government.

The current rate is $2.42 for employers and $1.73 for employees for every $100 income of the worker. The board recommended a 21 cents hike for employers and 15 cents increase for employees.

On Wednesday, Liberal Party leader Michael Ignatieff withdrew his support for a bill that would improve EI benefits. Ignatieff explained his change of stand to the enhancements being too expensive and no longer needed because it was a product of the recession.

Ignatieff used the EI reforms last year to push for a federal election. His withdraw of support for the bill filed by Bloc Quebecois MP Yves Lessard is a personal stand, not a party stand, Ignatieff clarified.

Lessard’s bill proposed reducing the qualifying period for EI from the present 420 hours minimum to 360 hours, hiking the weekly earnings from 55 percent to 60 percent of past earnings and increasing the length of time benefits could be collected.

WASHINGTON, Estados Unidos (DPA). -El presidente estadounidense, Barack Obama, ofreció generosas garantías de seguridad a Israel a cambio de que el país extienda la moratoria a construir en territorio palestino ocupado, aseguró hoy un centro de análisis político en Washington. Según la web del Instituto de Política para Cercano Oriente, Obama escribió una carta al primer ministro israelí, Benjamin Netanyahu, pidiéndole que prolongue otros dos meses la moratoria, cuyo vencimiento el domingo pasado es un serio revés para las negociaciones de paz con los palestinos. A cambio, el presidente estadounidense se comprometió a no volver a pedir una nueva prórroga y a esclarecer el tema de los asentamientos en el marco del diálogo de paz, aseguró el “think tank” citando altos funcionarios del gobierno en Washington. Obama también prometió al parecer vetar cualquier resolución palestina o árabe ante el Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU durante un año y aceptar toda necesidad israelí en materia de seguridad sin modificarla. Sin embargo, según el director del instituto, David Makovsky, hay indicios de que Netanyahu recibió con escepticismo la propuesta.

Washington, DC, United States (AHN) – Lawmakers passed a resolution on Wednesday, their last day of session before the mid-term elections, funding government operations until after they return from their recess. The stopgap measure was needed since both the House and the Senate haven’t passed a single appropriations bill for the next fiscal year, which begins on Friday.

By 228-194, the House passed a continuing resolution extending into December appropriations for the State Department, foreign operations and related programs past the fiscal year ending Sept. 30. Only one Republican, Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA), voted in support.

In the Senate, the the temporary spending measure passed 69-30 with Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) as the sole Democrat opposing. Sen. John Thune (R-SD) offered amendments providing funding until February and reducing all non-defense spending by 5 percent, but both measures failed along party lines.

“With the new fiscal year beginning on Friday, the continuing resolution put forward by my Democrat colleagues only perpetuates the out of touch federal spending levels we have witnessed in recent years,” Thune said in a statement.

Lawmakers are scheduled to return to the Capitol for a lame-duck session on Nov. 15, when the 12 annual appropriations bills for the 2011 fiscal year are expected to be approved. A backlog of bills will also be tackled, including the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” and the extension of 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts that are due to expire in January.

Democrats were hoping to pass a jobs bill to address the 9.6 percent unemployment rate before the elections, but could not muster enough votes to overcome Republican opposition. They sought to extend tax cuts for middle class families earning less than $250,000 a year.

The GOP, however, wants to make the tax cuts permanent for all including high-income earners. They’ve been accused by the White House of “holding the middle class hostage,” but they argue that the government should not raise taxes during a recession.
