$84 billion Invested in municipal projects like hospitals, roads, bridges and schools.

Strong and Resilient

Our banks are strong, stable and safe. We have substantially improved the quantity and quality of capital and liquidity, making us more resilient to adverse shocks. Our institutions have passed multiple stress tests in which the Federal Reserve reviewed our ability to withstand—and continue to lend through—significant economic shocks. And we’ve shown our strength during the real-life stress test of a global pandemic, supporting businesses, customers, communities and the U.S. economy while remaining safe and sound.

Forum institutions have substantially improved their capital and liquidity positions, and regulatory and supervisory changes in the past decade have further enhanced their resiliency and resolvability. They:

  • maintain $979 billion of Tier 1 capital, up 49 percent since 2010.
  • hold more than $3 trillion in high-quality liquid assets—more than double the amount held in 2010.
  • have made significant progress to simplify corporate structures to improve resolvability.
