Panel 3: Migration of Risk within the Financial Sector

For over 50 years, the share of financial assets held or intermediated by non-bank financial institutions has risen steadily. Monitoring and assessment of risks associated with non-bank financial institutions (NBFI) has become a regular part of the official sector’s monitoring of financial stability. In this panel we will discuss recent trends in the NBFI sector and what the COVID experience revealed about the nature and stability of non-banks in the U.S. and abroad. Finally, we will discuss the current outlook for regulation of NBFIs and how NBFI regulation is connected to the regulation of the banking sector.

Speakers


Panel 4: Capital and the State of the Economy

Capital in the banking system, and especially at our nation’s largest banks, has grown dramatically over the past fifteen years. At the same time, banking regulators are proposing new rules that could raise capital by as much as 20 percent for large banks. In this panel, we will discuss the current state of large bank capital, , the broad framework for assessing “how much is enough,” as well as perspectives on what changes may mean for the industry and its customers. The panel will also discuss the likely economic costs of further increases in bank capital – both in terms of direct economic costs as well as indirect costs that may arise from growth in non-bank sectors or an erosion of international competitive equity.
