Yesterday, Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP released its January 2013 Dodd-Frank Progress Report, which can be found here.  This report is one in a series of Davis Polk presentations that illustrate graphically the progress of the rulemaking work that has been done and is yet to occur under the Dodd-Frank Act. The Progress Report has been prepared using data from the Davis Polk Regulatory Tracker™, an online subscription service offered by Davis Polk to help market participants understand the Dodd-Frank Act and follow regulatory developments on a real-time basis.  Earlier blog posts about the progress report can be found here.

In this report:
