March 2025. Good a time as any to relitigate the root causes of the global financial crisis.

Very interesting to Bessent lead his remarks today in bank rules, as finreg hasn’t exactly been a top priority in this administration. Also notable he throws cold water on the idea of consolidating the bank regulators.

Interesting. Michael Barr just said he won’t even serve on the Fed’s internal bank supervision and regulation committee after he steps down as vice chair for supervision at the end of the month. Totally out of the bank reg game but remaining a Fed governor.

Actually not noteworthy, because the figures actually show the assets at "problem banks" rose BY $3 billion to $87 billion (from $84 billion). Perils of handing an English major a document with a bunch of numbers in it.

Potentially noteworthy -- the FDIC said in its latest report on quarterly bank profits that two banks were added to its "problem bank" list (reserved for banks with particularly low supervisory scores), and the total assets at said banks jumped from $3 billion to $87 billion.

New: The CFPB continues work on rulewriting in the final weeks of the Biden administration, eyeing new rules removing medical debt from credit reports and new restrictions on data brokers. Stands in contrast to other bank regulators who are pencils down: www.reuters.com/markets/us/u...

Exclusive: US consumer finance watchdog moves on new rules ahead of Trump takeover
The U.S. consumer finance watchdog is moving ahead with rulemaking in the final weeks of Joe Biden's Democratic administration, in a bid to advance consumer protections before President-elect Trump overhauls the agency, said three people familiar with the agency's thinking.

With Elon Musk calling for the deletion of the CFPB over on X, I checked and there were, in fact, two bills introduced in this Congress to eliminate the agency. They both went nowhere and garnered single-digit cosponsors: www.congress.gov/bill/118th-c... www.congress.gov/bill/118th-c...

One main regs takeaway from today's hearing is none of the regulators appear to be entertaining big notions of rushing stuff out the door before the Trump admin takes power.

The House Financial Services Committee has pretty quickly gone off the rails. Rep. Meeks chastising Republicans for criticizing Gruenberg for FDIC issues, while being silent on issues around Trump, Gaetz, etc.

Morning, Bluesky. We've got the bank regulators testifying before House Financial Services in what is sure to be a very normal and chill hearing. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren is throwing brushback pitches at the Fed over the Wells Fargo asset cap: www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Senator Warren urges Fed to keep Wells Fargo asset cap
The Federal Reserve must not remove Wells Fargo's $1.95 trillion asset cap until the bank has fixed its risk management and compliance issues, top Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren told the U.S. central bank on Wednesday.

1/ With it now official that Elizabeth Warren is going to be the top Democrat on Senate Banking (her statement attached), a few thoughts on why that’s significant and what it could mean for the banking industry she has made a career out of blasting.
