Enhancing FDIC Transparency: Faster Reporting and Documentation for Emergency Bank Actions.
This bill increases Congressional oversight of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) when it takes emergency actions regarding failing banks. It mandates that the FDIC must notify Congress before taking certain steps and requires the rapid submission of detailed documentation and analyses justifying any emergency determinations. This ensures greater accountability for decisions that impact financial stability, though it does not change standard deposit insurance coverage for citizens.
Key points
The FDIC must notify key Congressional committees before taking certain resolution actions concerning financial institutions.
Federal agencies (FDIC, Fed, Treasury) must provide Congress with all documentation and quantitative analyses justifying emergency determinations within 3 and 30 days.
The standard for calculating costs during resolutions is technically changed from "a present-value" to "an expected present-value."
