The SEC and the value of institutional distance
El supervisor bursátil estadounidense pierde el blindaje que protegía a sus cinco comisionados frente al poder político
The US Securities and Exchange Commission's independence is under threat following a recent Supreme Court ruling that gives the president greater control over independent regulatory agencies. The court's decision, which allows the president to remove commissioners without cause, could have implications for the SEC's structure and operations.
The SEC's triple mandate to protect investors, ensure fair markets, and promote capital formation has made it a global reference point, but its independence is now at risk. The ruling has sparked concerns about potential changes in regulatory priorities and oversight, with some warning that it could lead to a more politicized approach to regulation.
