BankThink With stress tests, less is more by Thomas P. Vartanian published by the American Banker on April 18, 2019
19 Apr 2019

Dynamic stress testing — or using econometric models to forecast a financial institution’s income and regulatory capital through hypothetical economic shocks — is a good idea. But the Federal Reserve’s rules need to keep improving to make them less onerous and more reliable. Fortunately, the Fed seems to agree, having taken several recent steps in […]
BankThink Fed ‘independence’ is a slippery slope by Alex J. Pollock published by American Banker on March 21, 2019
21 Mar 2019

Many observers, like Captain Renault in “Casablanca,” were “shocked, shocked!” at President Trump’s sharp criticism of the Federal Reserve and his attempt to influence it against raising interest rates, inquiring whether the president can fire the Fed chairman. Yet many presidents and their administrations have pressured the Fed, going back to its earliest days, when […]

12 Mar 2019

The American Bankers Association recently released a report from a major law firm detailing the legislative history of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.’s battle against bank purchases of deposits from money brokers, continuing a policy debate that began over 30 years ago when I was chairman of the FDIC. The ABA report suggests that over […]
High taxes are driving away the tri-state golden geese, by Stephen Moore and Arthur Laffer published by NY Post on February 13, 2019
13 Feb 2019

“This is the flip side [of] tax the rich, tax the rich, tax the rich. The rich leave, and now what do you do?” Gov. Andrew Cuomo asked this month, and it’s a vexing question. When Congress enacted President Trump’s tax reform a little over a year ago, many economists, ourselves included, predicted that the […]
IT’S ALL ABOUT STOCKS – AND IT SHOULDN’T BE! by William Dunkelberg Chief Economist of the National Federation of Independent Business
4 Jan 2019

Critics of the Federal Reserve are popping up everywhere. They say that the Federal Reserve is not paying attention to “what markets are telling” about the economy. Critics have forgotten what impact zero interest rates had and are still having. If investors can’t earn anything in bonds, they put their money into stocks and real […]

BankThink Accounting standards shouldn’t be left to the accountants, by William M. Isaac published by American Banker on January 4, 2019 January 6, 2019 The SEC and FASB are at it again with a plan requiring banks to forecast and book “current expected credit losses” over the life of loans without even a credit for expected interest income. Bank regulators are dutifully moving forward with plans to implement the new accounting standards. The impact could be very negative for most ...
BankThink A cautionary tale on brokered deposits By William M. Isaac November 9, 2018 The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is considering changing its rules governing brokered deposits, as American Banker recently reported. A number of bankers have urged the FDIC to liberalize the current rules so they might fund their banks more readily and extensively by purchasing money from deposit brokers. I would caution bankers and the FDIC to ...

Isaac published by American Banker on February 16, 2018 February 18, 2018 BankThink Don’t reinvent the wheel on housing finance: Restore Fannie and Freddie Tackling the last piece of unfinished business from the 2008 financial crisis is a top priority for policymakers — the big question is how to do it.

BankThink Congress should intervene to let more banks make small-dollar loans William M. Isaac published by American Banker on November 29 2017 November 30, 2017 When it comes to short-term, small-dollar loans, banks are between a rock and a hard place. Consumers are demanding short-term credit, and officials such as former Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Richard Cordray have urged banks to meet this need. On the other hand, stringent regulation meant to shut down predatory lenders is understandably causing banks ...
Regulators Can Help American Workers Get the Credit They Deserve, Published in The Wall Street Journal, By William M. Isaac and Ken Rees October 30, 2017 Nonprime lending isn’t as risky as it’s made out to be, and fintech firms can help traditional banks. This month the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued new rules likely to curtail payday and title loans. On the same day, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency removed its ban on short-term subprime lending by banks. ...
The Fed Should Stop Worrying and Learn to Love Low Inflation, By William M. Isaac and Richard M. Kovacevich, published by The Wall Street Journal on September 17, 2017 September 18, 2017 America’s central bankers ought to be focused on revving the economy and adding jobs—period. There’s no excuse for the Federal Reserve’s dawdling—not even its obsessive concern that inflation is too low. At 1.4% year on year as of July, core inflation is below the Fed’s target of 2%, but that goal is arbitrary and unrealistic for ...
