Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Morgan Stanley Chief Executive Officer John Mack, who struggled to return the bank to profitability amid the financial crisis, said a single regulator should oversee financial institutions worldwide.
“A better system would be one uber-regulator,” Mack said in an interview in New York for Bloomberg Television’s “Conversations with Judy Woodruff,” parts of which will air today. “We do need an overall systemic-risk management that everyone buys into. It’s not a U.S. systemic boundary -- it’s a global systemic risk manager.”
A global regulator would ensure that U.S. banks aren’t subject to tighter regulations than the rest of the world, Mack said. A push for regulation during the financial crisis has weakened as the administration of President Barack Obama pursues other tasks, he said.
Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. converted to bank holding companies one week after Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Merrill Lynch & Co. and American International Group Inc. collapsed or were rescued in September of last year. Less than a month later, Morgan Stanley took $10 billion from the U.S. government as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program. It has since paid back the government.
