WASHINGTON
The Obama administration on Wednesday proposed sweeping changes to the way the U.S. government oversees financial markets and will push Congress to grant new powers to the Federal Reserve to oversee the economy.
In remarks prepared for delivery later Wednesday, President Barack Obama detailed the reform proposals the White House says are necessary to avoid another financial crisis.
Mr. Obama confirmed that the overhaul, which he wants to complete this year, includes giving more power to the Federal Reserve Board to police big systematically important institutions, allowing the government to break firms apart, implementing new rules for complex instruments and creating a new federal agency to oversee consumer products like mortgages and credit cards.
"With the reforms we are proposing today, we seek to put in place rules that will allow our markets to promote innovation while discouraging abuse," Mr. Obama said. "We seek to create a framework in which markets can function freely and fairly, without the fragility in which normal business cycles bring the risk of financial collapse; a system that works for businesses and consumers."

Washington, 17 jun (EFECOM).- La Casa Blanca dio a conocer hoy los detalles de la mayor reforma financiera desde los años 30, que busca restaurar la confianza en el sistema financiero de EEUU y prevenir que se repita una crisis como la actual. El plan da competencias adicionales a la Reserva Federal para la supervisión del sistema financiero y creará también una nueva agencia para la protección de los consumidores.
La Casa Blanca adelantó los pormenores de la reforma algo más de una hora antes de que el presidente de EEUU, Barack Obama, pronuncie un discurso sobre el tema.
La residencia oficial de Obama indicó que el plan del presidente requerirá que todas las firmas financieras que plantean un riesgo significativo al sistema financiero estén sujetas a una gran supervisión y regulación.
Además, Obama abogará a favor de una mayor disciplina y transparencia en los mercados y de una mayor cooperación internacional en el sector financiero.
