Hearings & Testimony
Between now and December 15, 2010, the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission will examine the causes of the financial and economic crisis. This process includes taking testimony from hundreds of individuals in both private and public settings. Written testimony and videos from our public meetings will be posted to this site as part of the permanent public record.
As part of its inquiry, the Commission will hold a series of public hearings throughout the year including, but not limited to, the following topics: avoiding future catastrophe, complex financial derivatives, credit rating agencies, excess risk and financial speculation, government-sponsored enterprises, the shadow banking system, subprime lending practices and securitization, and too big to fail.
