Policies for a More Competitive Financial System
Conference Series 8
June 1972
The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston is particularly pleased to publish these proceedings, the eighth in our series of conference volumes. The conference, which was held in June 1972, reviewed The Report of the President's Commission on Financial Structure and Regulation, more commonly known as the Report of the Hunt Commission.
The Hunt Commission Report contains a series of recommendations which would
greatly change our financial structure and institutions.
Because of the importance of these ideas, a distinguished
group of economists, government officials and lawyers
was invited to participate in the conference and to
analyze the Commission's findings and recommendations.
