"NY Fed Study Reveals Deposit Outflows Concentrated Among Super-Regionals After SVB Collapse"

Deposit withdrawals from US banks following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank were concentrated in around 30 "super-regional" institutions in the $50 billion to $250 billion range, similar to SVB, New York Fed researchers concluded in a newly released study. Deposits among thousands of "community and smaller regional banks... were relatively stable by comparison" during March, the researchers found, with the largest, systemically important firms receiving the deposits that left the super-regional group. The report's release coincided with the FDIC announcing on Thursday its plan for replenishing its deposit insurance fund, which absorbed at least $16 billion of losses from the recent failures.

"Super-regionals" bear brunt of deposit outflows following SVB collapse - NY Fed study

Deposit withdrawals from US banks after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank were concentrated in around 30 "super-regional" institutions in the $50 billion to $250 billion range, similar to SVB, according to a study by the New York Fed. Deposits among thousands of "community and smaller regional banks... were relatively stable by comparison" during March, with the largest, systemically important firms receiving the deposits that left the super-regional group. Smaller banks were relatively unaffected, and the high level of uninsured deposits at SVB was a factor in its collapse.

US Lawmakers Grill Bank Regulators Over SVB Collapse and Possible Tougher Rules.

Lawmakers in the House Financial Services Committee grilled top U.S. bank regulators over their competency and questioned whether examiners were asleep at the wheel during a second day of congressional hearings this week about the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. The regulators were criticized for their lack of transparency and for not taking action when they had clear knowledge of insufficient risk management. The question of what records would be given to Congress came up repeatedly in the contentious hearing. Senators also introduced bipartisan legislation that would require federal regulators to claw back all or part of compensation earned by bank executives in the five-year period preceding a banking failure.

Minority Leaders Concerned Over SVB Collapse and Demonstrating Their Influence

The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) has raised concerns among depositors of minority-owned banks, who are turning to community banks for financial support. Small banks lost at least $108 billion in the week following the collapse of SVB, which could have ripple effects on minority-owned banks that often work with people of color who are unable to get funding from America's largest banks. Leaders of these smaller institutions are urging the government to step in and provide solutions, including reinstating full deposit insurance coverage for depositors and restarting the program to remove treasury deposits from large banks and into minority depository institutions.

US Banking Turmoil Sparks Calls for Stronger Regulations and Safeguards.

Senator Elizabeth Warren has launched a wide-ranging offensive against the banking industry and the 2018 deregulation law signed by former President Trump that raised the threshold for banks subject to federal scrutiny from $50 billion to $250 billion. Warren's ongoing criticism is poised to cause a headache for President Biden and other Senate Democrats, especially those who voted for the 2018 rollback and are up for reelection in 2024. Dozens of Senate and House Democrats have since co-sponsored Warren’s bill, but it will be a non-starter in the GOP-controlled House or face a Republican filibuster in the Senate.
