Today, Secretary Lew explained why he strongly disagrees with the district court’s rescission of the Financial Stability Oversight Council’s (FSOC) designation of MetLife. “This decision leaves one of the largest and most highly interconnected financial companies in the world subject to even less oversight than before the financial crisis.” Secretary Lew outlined three key policy lessons from the financial crisis that this court ruling contradicted. He added, “We intend to continue defending vigorously the process and the integrity of FSOC’s work, and I am confident that we will prevail.” For the Secretary’s full statement, click here: http://1.usa.gov/1S00PUa

“I’ve been pushing for years to eliminate some of the injustices in our tax system. So I am very pleased that the Treasury Department has taken new action to prevent more corporations from taking advantage of one of the most insidious tax loopholes out there, and fleeing the country just to get out of paying their taxes. This got some attention in the business press yesterday, but I wanted to make sure that we highlighted the importance of Treasury’s action and why it did what it did.”—President Obama on actions taken by Treasury regarding corporate inversions.

“Not long ago, conventional wisdom dismissed sanctions as blunt, ineffective instruments. The old model was a country-wide embargo, which provided little flexibility to mitigate disproportionate costs on innocent civilians—both in the targeted countries and here at home. At the same time, early efforts to ensure humanitarian relief sometimes fell short of the intended goal. The sanctions we employ today are different. They are informed by financial intelligence, strategically designed, and implemented with our public and private partners to focus pressure on bad actors and create clear incentives to end malign behavior, while limiting collateral impact.” Read the full text of Secretary Lew’s remarks on the Evolution of Sanctions and Lessons for the Future delivered at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace: http://1.usa.gov/1UUldcG
