In the midst of the market turmoil, the pressing priority for US and global policymakers is to repair the financial system and restore the economy. Just as important, however, will be addressing the serious flaws exposed by this crisis. This process of reflection and reform will be critical to restoring confidence and enabling market-based capitalism to rebuild our economies. We must recognise the real possibility that because the crisis is not behind us, there may be lessons to learn and problems to address that are not now obvious. Yet many lessons are obvious and I take confidence from the commitment of world leaders – in the US, Europe, China and elsewhere – to pursue comprehensive regulatory reform and co-ordinate internationally.
在此輪市場動蕩之中，美國及全球政策制定者的緊要任務是修彌金融體系并重建經濟。然而，同樣重要的是解決這場危機暴露出的嚴重弊端。這個反省與改革的過程，對于重塑信心、讓以市場為基礎的資本主義重建我們的經濟來說將至關重要。我們必須意識到：由于危機尚未過去，我們從中汲取的教訓、需要解決的問題現在尚未顯現出來是完全可能的。不過，有許多教訓已顯而易見，而全球各國領導人——美國、歐洲、中國以及其它地區——致力于推行全面監管改革并尋求全球協作的承諾讓我充滿信心。
