米国Yellen財務長官発言
Yellen Says US Will Intervene If Needed to Protect Smaller Banks
2023/03/21
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Tuesday the US government could repeat the drastic actions it took recently to protect bank depositors if smaller lenders are threatened.
“Our intervention was necessary to protect the broader US banking system, and similar actions could be warranted if smaller institutions suffer deposit runs that pose the risk of contagion,” Yellen said in remarks to an American Bankers Association conference in Washington.
The federal government “is resolutely committed” to mitigating financial-stability risks where necessary, Yellen said in a question-and-answer session.
“The public should have confidence in our banking system.”

” Yellen said in prepared remarks to an American Bankers Association conference in Washington.
US authorities took extraordinary steps this month to bolster confidence in the banking system following the collapses of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. Regulators guaranteed insured and uninsured deposits at the two institutions. The Federal Reserve also launched a new backstop for lenders and altered rules at its emergency lending facility to help them meet deposit withdrawals.
The moves were designed to stem the flow of customers taking refuge in banks seen as too big to fail, and by Friday Treasury officials were declaring that deposit flows at small and mid-sized banks had begun to normalize — a point Yellen repeated Tuesday.
“The Fed facility and discount-window lending are working as intended to provide liquidity to the banking system,” Yellen said. “Aggregate deposit outflows from regional banks have stabilized.”
Still, US officials have begun studying whether they can temporarily expand federal deposit insurance to cover all deposits. A coalition of mid-sized banks has argued that step is necessary to head off a potential crisis.
The Treasury chief didn’t address that issue in her prepared remarks. Nor did she give away her thoughts on what specific regulatory response might be necessary to prevent a re-run of the incidents.
“We are currently focused on the situation at hand,” she said. “But we will need to reexamine our current regulatory and supervisory regimes and consider whether they are appropriate for the risks that banks face today.”
