Obama administration seeks 28% CFTC funding increase

摘要

Washington-President Obama's 2011 budget calls for adding nearly 100 new Commodity Futures Trading Commission staff members, most to work at overseeing markets and enforcement actions, and a 28% increase in funding to $216 million.If Congress passes a financial reform package adding oversight of over-the-counter derivatives trades and swaps, the CFTC wants an additional $45 million to hire 119 more employees and buy $18 million worth of new computer technology.
