2016 Financial Stability Conference
Washington, DC
December 2, 2016
Last summer, when I accepted President Loretta Mester's invitation to speak at this
conference, I thought it would be a good occasion to step back and assess where we stand in our
post-crisis efforts to promote financial stability in the United States. This morning I will offer
such an assessment. I will begin by reviewing what has been accomplished. Then I will suggest
how to approach the work that remains--including both tackling continuing vulnerabilities to
financial stability and rationalizing the measures that have already been taken.
The Crisis and Its Aftermath
To understand where we stand today, we should recall why we embarked on these efforts
in the first place. There is little mistaking the motivation--it was the magnitude of the
destruction wrought by the financial crisis and the Great Recession that followed it. The
resulting losses in employment were on a scale not seen since the Great Depression. One model
used by Federal Reserve staff1 estimates that cumulative loss in output relative to potential over
the period was on the order of one quarter of a year's worth of economic output.2 While we
cannot be certain that these losses were due solely to the financial crisis, losses of this magnitude
appear broadly in line with estimates of the effects of prior financial crises.3 Moreover, the
shortfalls in jobs and income relative to potential may understate the total losses, as many current

Reserve Board. For a description of the model and access to the data, see

Losses attributable to the Great Recession have been estimated using different metrics and range widely. For
example, one 2013 study suggests that total U.S. losses from the financial crisis could range from 40 to 90 percent of
a year's worth of economic output, or $6 to $14 trillion. Tyler Atkinson, David Luttrell, and Harvey Rosenblum

estimates of potential output are significantly below levels expected prior to the Great Recession.
This may be due to the declines in investment, business dynamism, and labor force attachment
brought about by the shortfall in aggregate demand through hysteresis effects.4
As evidenced by a continuing stream of scholarship, many factors contributed to the
unsustainability and fragility of the pre-crisis financial system. But the inadequacy of regulation
and supervision was clearly among them. Large banking firms had insufficient levels of high-
quality capital; excessive amounts of short-term, wholesale funding; too few high-quality, liquid
assets; and inadequate risk measurement and management systems. Systemically important
nonbank financial firms whose failure could threaten the stability of the financial system were
effectively outside the regulatory perimeter. Governments did not have resolution regimes that
could provide for an orderly resolution of a systemically important financial firm. Shadow
banking--which was funding long-term assets with short-term wholesale liabilities--exposed the
financial system to a systemwide liquidity run.
Although we all lived through the fall of 2008, let me dwell for a moment on that
frightening period. Six months had passed since the demise of Bear Stearns in March. Over that
summer, it may have appeared as though the fallout from this episode had been contained. But
by the fall, it became clear that other large, non-prudentially regulated financial firms threatened
financial stability. American International Group (AIG) received direct government support.
Two large freestanding investment banks converted themselves into bank holding companies to
gain market confidence from the imprimatur of regulatory oversight by the Federal Reserve.
Merrill Lynch and Bear Stearns itself ceased to exist as independent entities and were absorbed
into existing bank holding companies, with some form of government benefit facilitating the
acquisition.5 And, of course, as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac teetered on the brink of failure,
they were placed into government conservatorship, with accompanying full government
guarantees of their liabilities. The absence of an option for orderly resolution was faced head-on
in the case of Lehman Brothers, whose bankruptcy in September moved the financial crisis to its
most acute phase.
Even insured depository institutions such as Wachovia and Washington Mutual, for
which special resolution procedures were available, were merged into existing banks with, again,
government benefits to make the absorption of these failing banks worthwhile for the acquiring
institutions.6 And a number of very large bank holding companies were under grave stress.
Meanwhile, financial markets of all sorts had either ceased functioning or come dangerously
close to it.
Unlike in some bank crises of the past, direct connections among large financial firms
were only part of the problem. At the heart of the crisis were contagion effects among firms
holding similar assets--particularly, tradable assets--and the withdrawal of much of the short-
term wholesale funding on which many large financial firms and the shadow banking system had
come to rely. Needless to say, the larger the firm with lots of tradable assets and runnable
funding, the greater the additional threat to the system.
If anyone harbored remaining doubts, it was clear by October that the nation's financial
system faced not just severe liquidity problems, but a solvency crisis. In response, following
enactment of the Troubled Asset Relief Program by Congress, Secretary Henry Paulson oversaw
the injection of government capital into the nation's largest financial firms, as well as into many
smaller banking firms. This first step toward stability was reinforced in early 2009 when
Secretary Timothy Geithner initiated the stress test exercise to determine how much capital these
firms needed to remain viable financial intermediaries and, perhaps as importantly, to share this
information with markets. In the succeeding months, the Federal Reserve obliged the firms to
raise enough private capital to replace the government capital and to meet the minimum capital
levels established by the stress tests.
By the latter part of 2009, the U.S. financial system had been stabilized, but only with
substantial injections of taxpayer capital and the complementary support of other guarantees and
lending facilities variously provided by the Federal Reserve, the Treasury, and the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)--both to banks and to non-bank financial actors. And the
nation had meanwhile been plunged into the deepest economic downturn since the Great
Depression.
Demands were widespread, both in the country and the Congress, for a regulatory
response to protect against the reemergence of the conditions that had led to the crisis. While
there were different views on exactly what should be done, on how much new authority was
needed for the regulators who had not fully exercised their existing powers, and on the degree to
which regulators should be required--rather than just empowered--to take certain actions, there
was agreement that action was needed. Throughout 2009, discussion and debate ensued not just
between, but within, the political parties on how best to respond. If there was one powerful,
widely held view that underlay the public debate, it was that the system needed to change to
avoid a repeat of the taxpayer bailouts of so many large financial institutions.
It was only toward the end of the legislative exercise that resulted in the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) that the process took a more
partisan turn. Indeed, the Dodd-Frank Act contains measures that commanded fairly wide
consensus, such as the need for higher capital requirements for the largest banks. Furthermore,
the origins of some features of the legislation rested as much or more with Republican than
Democratic legislators, such as the section 165 requirement for resolution plans that will make
systemically important firms resolvable in bankruptcy without requiring taxpayer support or
resulting in major disorder in the financial system.
The Nature and Impact of the New Regulatory Regime
Now let us fast forward to the present. Less than a decade after being the epicenter of a
global financial crisis, today the United States has the strongest and most diverse financial
system of any major economy in the world. Credit default swap (CDS) spreads and other market
indicators suggest that investors have remained confident in the solvency of large U.S. banks
through several recent episodes of global financial volatility.7 For example, during the market
strains at the beginning of this year, the CDS spreads of U.S. banks increased only 25 to 50 basis
points, and even so only briefly, while large banks in some other parts of the world saw their
CDS spreads increase substantially more and for a longer period. The relative strength of, and
resulting market confidence in, U.S. banks has allowed them to expand their lending, the growth
of which has returned during the last couple of years to a pace similar to that in the pre-crisis,
pre-bubble years.8
What accounts for this dramatic change in the position of the U.S. financial system?
First, the crisis response by U.S. authorities was fairly quick and complete. The resolute actions
of the Bush Administration in late 2008 and the Obama Administration early in 2009 helped
stabilize banks and begin their recovery in fairly short order. Recapitalization proceeded
quickly, even as the stress test compelled an early reckoning with actual and potential losses.
The forceful monetary policy response, the liquidity programs of the Federal Reserve, and the
FDIC's guarantee of bank debt prevented the bottom from dropping out of the badly shaken
financial system. The emergency fiscal stimulus of 2009 helped prevent a downward spiral in
the real economy from a Great Recession to another depression.
Second, and of more relevance for the subject of this conference, was the regulatory
reform program put in motion even before the crisis had ended. This program has steadily
strengthened the capital, liquidity, and risk management positions of large banks, with
progressively more stringent measures applied to the most systemically important institutions.
The new regulatory regime for large banks serves two important, complementary goals. One is
to ensure that the nation's large financial institutions are sufficiently strong to continue to
function effectively as intermediaries, lending to creditworthy businesses and households even in
a period of substantial financial and economic stress. If they cannot do so because, for example,
their capital positions have been too weakened, the result could be a deepening of what may
already be a serious recession. The other goal is to address the too-big-to-fail problem. When
some combination of the size, functions, portfolios, and interconnectedness of a financial
institution are such as to make authorities fear that its failure could endanger the entire financial
system, they will be tempted to rescue the firm through direct capital injections or indirect
measures to strengthen its solvency. Knowing this, other market actors will be willing to lend to
that institution at a premium lower than its actual risks would suggest is warranted, an effect that
is particularly apparent during periods of stress.
Taking both these goals into account, the regulatory regime must aim for much greater
resiliency in the large banks than in smaller ones, so that they can continue to function even
under serious stress without solvency assistance from the government and, thus, avoid causing
more harm to the economy. But the regime must also be able to contemplate failure by a very
large bank--that is, to plan for the possibility that a larger bank may become insolvent
notwithstanding much greater ex ante resiliency. The regime must promote market discipline
and offset the moral hazard that comes if a bank and its creditors believe the government will
have no real choice but to bail the bank out.
Much has been accomplished in the last six or seven years to build a regime that
advances both these goals. I want to highlight four of its elements: capital, liquidity, risk
management, and resolution planning. Capital is, of course, central to ensuring resiliency
although, as I will explain shortly, the presence or absence of other regulatory requirements is
relevant in setting minimum capital levels. Because no single capital measure can capture all
possible sources of loss, U.S. banking regulation has for three decades required both a leverage
ratio and a risk-based capital requirement. In responding to the crisis, we have applied a higher
leverage ratio and stronger risk-based capital requirements, including a robust stress testing
program to larger banks.
The risk-based capital regime that has been built since the crisis contains several distinct
components: a minimum capital requirement, a buffer requirement, and a surcharge on
systemically important banks.9 Let me explain the rationale for each component. The minimum
capital requirement represents the amount of capital that experience suggests a bank needs so as
to retain the confidence of its customers and counterparties and thus function as an intermediary.
Recognizing that a bank operating below its minimum capital will be vulnerable to a sudden loss
of market confidence, the regulatory consequences of falling below the minimum are severe and
intended to force such a bank to quickly take steps to raise its capital level back above the
minimum. The buffer capital requirement is sized so that, if the economy suffers a severe
recession that leads a bank to suffer a substantial loss, the bank will still be above its minimum
capital level and thus able to continue operating and lending to support economic growth. The
buffer is intended to be useable in times of stress, and the regulatory consequences of falling into
the buffer are accordingly less severe than the consequences of falling below the minimum. The
surcharge on systemically important banks requires systemically important firms to recognize,
and hold capital against, the costs that their failure would impose on the broader economy.
The minimum and buffer requirements were calibrated using historical data on bank
losses across a number of countries in a way that would be appropriate for all large banks across
a range of countries, although we recognized at the time that these requirements might not reflect
market circumstances in all situations. The surcharge for global systemically important banks
(G-SIBs) was calibrated to provide a sufficient amount of additional capital to reduce sufficiently
the chances of a G-SIB's failure so that the impact of its failure, discounted by the probability of
that failure occurring, would approximately equal the impact of the failure of a large bank
holding company that is not a G-SIB, discounted by the somewhat higher probability of its
failure.10
As I explained recently, we will soon consider adopting a "stress capital buffer" to
integrate the post-crisis capital regime with our supervisory stress test.11 In this approach, each
firm would have a buffer requirement derived from our annual stress test, taking the place of the
existing buffer requirement, which is the same for all firms. This change would make the capital
regime more risk-sensitive by using firm-specific information on risks drawn from the stress test.
Using the supervisory stress test to guide a risk-sensitive capital regime seems far preferable to
reliance on a bank's internal models, which have proven problematic as a basis for risk-based
capital requirements under Basel II.12
The progressive implementation of this capital regime has substantially increased the
resiliency of the largest banks. Although there can be reasonable differences over just how to
compute minimum requirements, the post-crisis regime differs from pre-crisis days precisely
because there is now a well thought through rationale for those much higher minimum
requirements. Because of this regime, banks subject to the annual supervisory stress test have to
this point more than doubled their high-quality capital, while shedding many of their riskiest
assets and activities.
10
The reason why the non-G-SIB's probability of failure is higher is because its capital ratio requirement is lower
without a surcharge. For an explanation of this "expected impact" methodology, see Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (2015), "Calibrating the G-SIB Surcharge," white paper (Washington: Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System, July 20).

A second important feature of the post-crisis regulatory regime for large banks has been
the introduction of quantitative liquidity regulations. The financial crisis was, in the first
instance, as much about liquidity as solvency. What proved in retrospect to be excessive
liquidity for some types of assets turned into scarcity nearly overnight, confirming the view that
liquidity is most available when you need it least and least available when you need it most. The
period was defined by runs, not on bank deposits (at least not insured bank deposits), but on
short-term wholesale funding. Because of deep uncertainty about the condition of counterparties
and the value of assets serving as collateral, investors refused to roll over existing repurchase
agreements (or repos) and similar extensions of credit, much less to offer new lending. Many
trading activities ground to a near halt, and dealers were forced into fire sales of the assets on
their balance sheets that remained liquid. Indeed, it was difficult at times to distinguish between
liquidity and solvency crises at particular firms.
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) have placed
the funding of large banks on a firmer footing. The LCR requires a large bank to hold enough
high-quality liquid assets to cover the net cash outflows the bank would expect to occur over a
30-day stress scenario. This requirement establishes a buffer against liquidity risk that reduces
the bank's vulnerability to a run, such as materialized in the recent crisis. In the event a bank
does encounter liquidity difficulties, the LCR's 30-day buffer will give the authorities time to
assess the bank's condition and react as appropriate.
The NSFR complements the LCR by requiring an amount of stable funding that is
tailored to the liquidity risk of a bank's assets and liabilities, based on a one-year time horizon.
The NSFR creates an incentive for banks to extend the maturity of their funding, making them
more resilient to market stress. To offset the risks of the short-term wholesale funding structures
that proved so dangerous in the recent crisis, the NSFR requires more stable funding for short-
term loans to financial firms.
It is important to note how liquidity requirements also affect the capital needed by a bank,
as can be illustrated by a simple, if admittedly improbable, example. Assume two banks with
exactly the same assets and the same amount of capital. One funds those assets entirely through
insured (sticky) deposits and longer-term debt, while the other funds its assets entirely through
short-term uninsured deposits and repo borrowing. Assume now that an external shock reduces
the value of the assets dramatically, with lingering uncertainty as to whether the value will
continue to drop. It is readily apparent that the two large banks face very different risks, since
the second bank's funding will at best become more expensive and at worst decline or disappear.
A sound regulatory regime will align the riskiness of the two banks more closely, by requiring
the second bank to change its funding profile, increase its capital, or some combination of the
two. In fact, the LCR and NSFR would require more stability in funding at my second
hypothetical bank, while one of the factors used to calculate the capital surcharge applicable to
the largest banks is its relative reliance on runnable funding.
I will not go into detail in explaining a third key factor of our post-crisis regulatory
regime--the requirement for rigorous risk management at large banks. But a brief example
should make the point. During the height of the crisis in the winter of 2009, as we were
conducting the first stress test, we found that some of the largest banks were literally unable to
determine in any reasonable time their aggregate exposures to particular counterparties and
business lines across their varied operations. That deficiency made it easier to understand how
they could have gotten themselves in such trouble. Because of the supervisory expectations for
risk management in our annual Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR) exercise,
the information and risk management systems of all banks have improved substantially, though
work remains to be done at some of the largest banks.
A fourth key element of the post-crisis regulatory regime is to develop credible options
for resolution so that even one of the largest financial firms could be allowed to fail without
bringing the financial system down. Without such options, market discipline will remain
lacking. Moral hazard will lurk in the background, since market actors will doubt that a large
institution would be allowed to fail. Moreover, government officials must themselves have
confidence in the viability of orderly resolution and bankruptcy procedures, or else during
periods of high stress, they will be tempted to use some form of government help to keep the
firm solvent.
Next Steps
While it is perhaps a bit soon for a full evaluation of the regulatory regime for large
banks, several studies affirm its beneficial economic effects, particularly when the destructive
impact of a financial crisis is taken into account.13 This assessment should obviously be adjusted
as warranted by new studies and data. But even as this work proceeds, we should continue to ask
two questions.
First, are we reasonably confident that the largest U.S. banks could weather a period of
stress, and, in the more remote event they could not, that they would no longer present the

Hobson's choice of disorderly failure endangering the entire financial system or some form of
solvency bailout? While they are strong relative to their peers in other major economies and
have held up well during the few bouts of moderate financial stress we have experienced over the
last several years, these firms have not yet faced a major financial challenge. Second, should we
adjust statutory or regulatory provisions that are not needed for, or are less efficient means for
achieving, financial stability? Let me offer some perspective on answering both questions, along
with a handful of specific proposals.
With respect to the first question, there is certainly room for discussion over the most
suitable minimum capital standards for the most systemically important financial firms. As I
noted when we were deciding on the expected impact approach as the best available method for
calibrating capital surcharges, there is no magic to that method.14 Indeed, even within that
approach, we should be open to research that suggests new or improved ways to determine the
relative systemic importance of firms. However, I think it is important to have a methodology
that is clearly explained and is based on the research that has been done. Let me note in passing
two points that can be drawn from that research. First, there is work subsequent to the
formulation of the Basel III capital standards suggesting that the costs of higher capital
requirements may be somewhat lower, and the benefits broader, than previously thought.
Second, however, the reduction in the probability of a financial crisis associated with increasing
capital levels will begin to level off at some point, thereby creating diminishing benefits for
tighter capital standards.15
Moreover, as important as capital is to promoting systemic stability, it is not the only
relevant consideration. The relative presence or absence of other regulations that mitigate risk in
banks should affect minimum capital levels. To my mind, the most important of these are
regulations limiting dependence of financial firms on runnable funding sources.16 If a firm is not
vulnerable to runs, it is far more likely to weather a financial storm without resorting to fire sales
or cutting off customers from credit, and thus far less likely to wreak havoc on the financial
system.
In short, I think it healthy that discussion continues over the right type and levels of
capital requirements and, more generally, over whether we have the right mix of policies. To
that end, here are a few relatively near-term steps that we at the Federal Reserve can take to
further advance financial stability goals. First is to continue focused work on making the largest,
most systemically important firms resolvable in order to minimize both moral hazard and any
harm that may befall the economy if such a firm were to fail. This means continued work by the
Federal Reserve and the FDIC to require these firms to develop their resolution plans and, more
importantly, modify their organizational structures and day-to-day practices such as liquidity
management so as to enable an orderly resolution, should it become necessary. Along these
lines, I would hope that Congress will move forward with a set of changes to the bankruptcy
code to facilitate the resolution of large financial firms and, thereby, limit the number of
instances in which the government would need to use the Title II procedures of Dodd-Frank.
In the very short term, we will also finalize our rule requiring the most systemically
important firms to hold a sizeable amount of long-term debt, which would be available to the
FDIC or a bankruptcy judge for conversion into equity should the firm fail. Note that this
requirement is intended to prepare for the possibility that the firm fails despite all the measures
we have taken to strengthen resiliency. Having identifiable instruments for conversion that
would survive the loss of most or all of the firm's equity is necessary for a private
recapitalization of the firm to be successful.
A second step is to determine if we can develop metrics that would reflect a firm's
particular vulnerabilities to funding shocks, liquidity shocks, and fire sale dynamics in their
needed capital as part of the annual stress test.17 These measures would directly take into
account macroprudential concerns of financial system stability. They might well counsel
increased capital requirements for some of the largest banks.
A third step is to take another look at the capital and liquidity positions of large U.S.
branches of some foreign banks. As has become apparent, the actual consolidated capital
positions of some such banks can be difficult for us to discern when the bank uses internal
models to compute its required regulatory capital. It is critical to ensure that large U.S. branches
of foreign banks do not create financial instability in the United States if their parents' global
positions come under stress.
Although I have been focusing mostly on the risks to financial stability posed by the
largest financial firms, I would not want to leave a discussion of future work without offering
another reminder that they are not the only source of vulnerabilities. The kinds of "shadow
banking" that grew up around the private-label mortgage backed securities markets have largely
disappeared, but other forms of runnable liabilities remain outside prudentially regulated
institutions. There is also good reason to believe that new forms of shadow banking will develop
in the future and, as I have explained at some length elsewhere, continued attention to such
activities will be needed.18
Turning now to an agenda for rationalizing what has already been done, I will not attempt
to lay out a list of appropriate measures so much as to suggest some key considerations in
forming such an agenda.
First, it is critical that we not forget our still quite recent history. Earlier in this talk I
recounted the origins and effects of the financial crisis as a reminder as to why we now have the
stronger capital requirements and other measures I have described. There is surely a need to
review over time the changes that have been implemented to assess how much additional
stability we have gained and at what cost. As we gain experience with the statutory and
regulatory measures that have been implemented, we have begun assessments of the efficacy and
efficiency of these measures. Thus, for example, we are proposing to remove the qualitative
assessment exercise in CCAR for most firms with less than $250 billion in assets.19 As part of
our continuing examination of changes in market liquidity in the post-crisis period, we are
assessing whether refinements might usefully be made in any of the regulations that have
generally had beneficial effects in containing excessive and unsustainable liquidity. And as part
of our efforts to tailor our regulations according to the business models of firms, we are
considering ways to address the special issues posed for the large custody banks by certain
elements of our regulatory framework. But in considering these and other changes, we will not
weaken the essential elements of the existing regime that guard against another financial crisis.
Second--and here is an affirmative argument for rationalization measures--we need to
have a more explicit and thorough tiering of requirements within the prudential regulatory
regime. The flip side of the observation that the largest banks need stricter and more wide-
ranging regulation because of the special risks they pose is that the smaller and less
interconnected a bank is, the less risk it presents and thus the less strict
