The bank policy outlook for 2024

From the Basel III endgame to Regulation II to new Community Reinvestment Act and Section 1071, 2023 has delivered a regulatory onslaught for the industry. How are bankers navigating the waves of overlapping changes? On this episode, Gary Shook, chair of ABA's Government Relations Council, reflects on the council's recent meeting and offers perspectives on how banks can navigate the policy environment.
