Fed stress tests missed instability risks at Silicon Valley Bank

  • The Federal Reserve is preparing to release a report on its oversight of Silicon Valley Bank before its collapse.
  • Regulators worried months before the crisis about large uninsured deposits at regional banks and their potential effect on the financial system.
  • The FDIC focused on big banks after the 2008 crisis but had not scrutinized regional lenders as closely.
  • An advisory panel discussed responses to failures at major regional banks shortly before Silicon Valley Bank failed.
  • Experts say regulators' concerns about regionals were prescient given Silicon Valley Bank's failure and its significant costs to the FDIC insurance fund.
