The Inter-Agency Working Group on Treasury Market Surveillance, the Market Resilience Working Group, and member agencies undertake monitoring and targeted reforms intended to strengthen Treasury market liquidity and resilience against shocks.

Source summary
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent testified before the Senate Banking Committee on the Financial Stability Oversight Council’s (FSOC) 2025 annual report, saying the council will prioritize economic growth and economic security. He criticized what he called "regulation by reflex," linked that approach to recent bank failures, and outlined four FSOC priorities: strengthening U.S. Treasury market resilience, improving cybersecurity, modernizing bank and credit-union supervision (especially for community banks), and promoting responsible use of artificial intelligence.
Latest fact check

FSOC has explicitly stated support for member agencies’ efforts to bolster U.S. Treasury market resilience and named two interagency forums—the Inter-Agency Working Group on Treasury Market Surveillance (IAWG) and FSOC’s Market Resilience Working Group—as vehicles for that work. FSOC’s 2025 Annual Report (Dec. 11, 2025) states the Council “strongly supports the continued work of the Inter-Agency Working Group on Treasury Market Surveillance (IAWG) and encourages member agencies to use the Council’s new Market Resilience Working Group” to monitor and analyze resilience-boosting initiatives; prior releases from IAWG members (CFTC, New York Fed) document ongoing surveillance and reform efforts. Verdict: True — official FSOC and member-agency documents confirm FSOC is supporting member agencies and those working groups to strengthen the Treasury market against future shocks.
