"Reflections on the Banking Industry One Year After Silicon Valley Bank's Collapse"

The Rise and Fall of Silicon Valley Bank: A Warning for Other Banks

According to a Duke University professor, the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank earlier this year is not an isolated incident, and many other banks may fail. The professor warns that as long rates increase, it will have negative implications for the economy, particularly in the commercial real estate and housing markets. He believes the Federal Reserve should have stopped raising rates earlier this year to avoid a self-inflicted recession. The professor also notes that the current GDP growth is primarily due to consumers depleting their pandemic savings, and the economy cannot rely on consumer spending to bail it out in 2024.

Fed's Daly Acknowledges Supervisory 'Slowness' in Silicon Valley Bank Failure

San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Mary Daly stated that the failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was due to regulators being too slow to take action. Daly emphasized that she does not have a supervising role in SVB but believes that other officials waited too long to address regulatory issues. The postmortem report on SVB's failure highlighted the problem of slowness in regulatory action. Daly clarified that supervision is a system-wide activity and that the responsibility for fixing regulatory issues lies with the Fed's Board of Governors. She also discussed the Fed's ongoing fight against inflation and the challenges of raising rates without causing a recession or allowing inflation to remain above the central bank's target. Other Fed officials also spoke about the need for rate hikes to combat inflation.

SVB Financial Files Lawsuit Against FDIC to Recover $1.9 Billion

SVB Financial, the parent company of Silicon Valley Bank, has filed a lawsuit against the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to recover $1.9 billion that the regulator has held since seizing the bank earlier this year.

The bankruptcy judge recently approved the sale of SVB Financial Group's investment bank, SVB Securities, to its managers. The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in March continues to have repercussions, with depositors seeking legal redress and federal officials investigating Goldman Sachs' involvement in the bank's final days.
