FDIC to Centralize Key Aspects of Its Large, Complex Financial Institution Activities

 

On July 8, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) announced its intentions to centralize the supervision and resolution activities for the largest banks and complex financial institutions in a new division to be named the Division of Complex Institution Supervision and Resolution (CISR). The new division will be responsible for the Agency’s supervision and monitoring of banks with assets greater than $100 billion for which the FDIC is not the primary federal regulator. On the resolution side, the new division will be responsible for planning for and executing the FDIC’s resolution mandates for these institutions, as well as for other financial companies if called upon to protect U.S. financial stability.
