US Bank Failures Under Scrutiny: Post-Mortems Highlight Problems and Fixes.

The Federal Reserve and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation are set to release post-mortems on the second- and third-largest US bank failures ever, with the speed of the failures remaining a primary focus. The reports will examine the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, which took just 36 hours to go from functioning regional lenders to being seized by regulators. The supervisory regime at both regulators is under scrutiny from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who have questioned why bank examiners weren't more aggressive in pursuing fixes at the failed banks.
