FDIC, acting chair says to reduce the mandate of banks

,

Hill on Tuesday said in the comments designed for an American Bankers Association event that the regulator searched for updated resolution plans, which especially FDIC needs to bring the institution fast to the market and if necessary, the institution needs to be operated for a short period.

The agency will also less emphasizing the discussion on the strategy of how an FDIC-occupied bridge infection in the bank, which operates the firm until an acquisition is identified. New guidance will come in the coming days, and the living will is due to this decline.

Hill says that changes are required to avoid large -scale deposits after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in March 2023, while it was operated as a bridge bank. Similarly, the Post-Ricivance Los of the Signature Bank represented half of the deposit in the firm the same month, when it failed, he said.

In both cases, the deposit deficit reduced the value of failed institutions and increased the cost in the deposit insurance fund, said Hill said.

He said, “This is a common feature of” melting ice cube “problem bridge banks and conservatorship, given that many customers and equivalent would always question whether it is worth continuing to trade with an organization that has just failed and is a highly uncertain future,” he said. “In addition, long -term upheaval can potentially be unstable for the banking industry and broad economy.”

The goal of FDIC should increase the possibility of a good resolution, which is usually a weekend sales, Hill said.

He said that early acquisition of a failed firm is not always possible and in that case, the agency should be ready to pursue the sales of parts of the bank as soon as possible.

In July 2024, the FDIC and the Federal Reserve adopted the final guidance, the aim to ensure that American lenders could be easily and quickly dissolved after any collapse. This was a part of the regulators’ response to SVB and Signature Bank’s rapid failures.

Hill said that the plan did not address all lessons from failures, such as the cost of operating a bridge bank in the first weekend of the collapse of an lender, Hill said.

“Overall, we hope to be prepared much better in this event that a big bank fails in the future, and to be able to solve it in a more costly,” he said.
