The secretive world of Federal Reserve bank supervision has been laid bare by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and critics say it needs an overhaul to make it more nimble, transparent and decisive
In hearings this week, Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr told lawmakers that supervisors had repeatedly identified risks to the failed bank, beginning in 2021, and even took steps to restrict its growth in 2022 because they went unaddressed.
If the matter is particularly concerning or persistent, supervisors can issue a "consent order," which is a formal, public enforcement action between a regulator and a bank, which often comes with a fine and orders to address the issue in a timely fashion. But this process protects banks from the release of unflattering details to the public, and makes it harder to assess how well they are being supervised.
"It is fair to say that the Federal Reserve writ large is not particularly transparent about when items are escalated or handled by the board and the board staff," said Hill.
