With the failure of First Republic Bank, the U.S. banking sector has experienced three massive failures within just a few weeks. What does this mean? And is there more to come?
It’s natural to ask questions. What happened? Why did it happen? How unusual is this? And could more failures be coming?The first bank fell in March: Silicon Valley Bank. When it collapsed, it was the second-largest bank to fail in U.S. history and the largest since the 2008 financial crisis.
This represents a larger asset total than in any previous year of bank failures. The previous record came in 2008, when banks that had combined assets of about $374 billion failed. Poor risk management "The Fed’s unprecedented increase in interest rates caught a few banks out over their skis," said Aaron Klein, a senior fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution, a Washington, D.C., think tank."Those banks were poorly managed, inadequately supervised, and deserved to fail.". Legislation signed by President Donald Trump in 2018 scaled back 2010’s landmark Dodd-Frank Act.
