    The essential features of the FDICIA of 1991 with regard to failing depository institutions include making it difficult for a depository institution’s failure to be delayed, as long as systematic risk isn’t determined. Systemic risk is the risk of the failure of the depository institution affecting the entire financial system in a negative way. Along with this, FIDICIA requires the use of the least cost resolution strategy, which requires a resolution to be based on present value, and have the least cost to the FDIC and the depository institution. Also, under FIDICIA, the FDIC only subsidizes losses if the depository institution does not have assets valued high enough to cover insured depositors, therefore forcing losses onto uninsured depositors and equity holders.…

    Small banks can ill-afford those kinds of costs, and additionally, Dodd-Frank’s other new requirements have caused undue cost to these smaller banks. Many small banks can no longer afford to offer free checking accounts, and due to stiff regulations they have been forced to end programs such as those that offer mortgages or car loans. Even though the legislators of Dodd-Frank intended to target large banks, most of the regulatory barriers hit small banks the hardest, forcing them out of them business. Because of that, Dodd-Frank has almost had the opposite of its intended purpose. Instead of ending the “too big to fail banks” it has only made them larger, in part by creating too many barriers for entry and shutting out…

    The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, otherwise known as the FDIC, was a key factor to economic recovery. The FDIC was established in 1933 to prevent a repetition of the financial bankruptcy that occurred during the Great Depression. It provided coverage for deposits in national and state banks around the US. The main area which allowed the FDIC to last till today was because it provides deposit insurance guaranteeing the safety of a depositor's accounts. This lies under recovery. Since the start of this corporation's insurance, no depositor has lost any insured funds as a result of a failure which eased the minds of many.…

    The act established a number of new government agencies tasked with overseeing various components of the act which include The Financial Stability Oversight Council and Orderly Liquidation Authority, The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, The Volcker Rule, and the SEC Office of Credit Ratings (Fontinelle, 2013). The Financial Stability Oversight Council observes potential risks that could affect the entire financial industry, regulates non-bank financial firms, and makes recommendations to the Federal Reserve to supervise any company that gets too big, thus preventing the too-big-to-fail. The Orderly Liquidation Authority provides for orderly liquidations or restructurings if any firm becomes too weak and prevents tax dollars from being used to prop up such firms (Fontinelle, 2013). The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau supervises credit reporting agencies, as well as payday and consumer loans while regulating credit fees, which include credit, debit, mortgage underwriting and bank fees. Due to the banks misuse of depositors' money in hedge funds for own profit, The Volcker Rule was initiated to prohibit banks…

    Opportunistic politicians used the 2008 financial crisis to pass a 2,300-page bill of growth killing regulations, known as Dodd-Frank. Rather than fixing the causes of the crisis helping Main Street families and businesses, Dodd-Frank enshrined “Too Big to Fail” policies and created a regulatory environment in which many of our community financial institutions are finding themselves “Too Small to Succeed.”…

    The American economy is a complex balance of services, financial, manufacturing, agricultural, and banking industries. For this reason, the U.S. is a global economy, relying upon foreign investments and trade to create and retain wealth. Over the years, America has evolved from farming-based, to industrial, to a services-based economy. As a result, the banking system from its inception has weathered the many growing pains associated with a new government and currency, instituting regulations and a centralized bank to examine the economy, and implement policies intended to offset factors negatively affecting the general financial health of the country.…
