FDIC Working on Finding Buyer for SVB, California’s Khanna SaysDemocratic Representative Ro Khanna said the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp is working to find a buyer for Silicon Valley Bank and urged the US government to step in and guarantee all of the bank’s deposits.Asked on CBS’s “Face the Nation” about the option of a private-sector bank buying SVB’s assets, Khanna said: “That would be the ideal situation and our delegation that talked to the FDIC last night made that clear. That’s what we urged them to work on, they said they’re working on it.”Khanna, who represents the California district where Silicon Valley Bank is based, called on regulators to lift the $250,000 federal cap on deposit insurance for SVB while finding a solution to the bank’s liquidity squeeze that sent it into FDIC receivership.“It’s not going to cost taxpayers money, because if you look at the financials of SVB — they have the assets, they don’t have the liquidity,” he said. “Right now, the key thing is for the depositors to have access to those accounts. Those assets still have value, we need the liquidity.”

U.S. officials weigh protecting all deposits at Silicon Valley BankExtraordinary step eyed if plan to sell SVB to another institution failsFederal authorities are seriously considering safeguarding all uninsured deposits at Silicon Valley Bank, weighing an extraordinary intervention to prevent what they fear would be a panic in the U.S. financial system, according to three people with knowledge of the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private deliberations.Officials at the Treasury Department, Federal Reserve, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation discussed the idea this weekend, the people said, with only hours to go before financial markets opened in Asia. White House officials have also studied the idea, per two separate people familiar with those discussionsThe plan would be among the potential policy responses if the government is unable to find a buyer for the failed bank. The FDIC began an auction process for SVB on Saturday and hoped to identify a winning bidder Sunday afternoon, with final bids expected by 2 p.m. ET, according to two people familiar with the matter.Selling SVB to a healthy institution remains the preferred solution, officials have told members of Congress. Most bank failures are resolved that way and enable depositors to avoid losing any money.Although the FDIC insures bank deposits up to $250,000, a provision in federal banking law may give them the authority to protect the uninsured deposits as well if they conclude that failing to do so would pose a systemic risk to the broader financial system, the people said. In that event, uninsured deposits could be backstopped by an insurance fund, paid into regularly by U.S. banks.Before that happens, the systemic risk verdict must be endorsed by a two-thirds vote of the Fed’s Board of Governors and the FDIC board along with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. No final decision has been made, but the deliberations reflect concern over the collateral damage from SVB’s collapse and authorities’ struggle to respond amid limits on their powers implemented following the 2008 financial bailouts.“We’ve been hearing from those depositors and other concerned people this weekend. So let me say that I’ve been working all weekend with our banking regulators to design appropriate policies to address this situation,” Yellen said on the CBS program “Face the Nation.”Officials have grown increasingly alarmed by the prospect that SVB’s collapse could lead depositors to move their money out of similarly situated banks and into the safer Wall Street firms.“They’re trying to work out legal and politically justifiable way to protect all uninsured deposits,” said one person familiar with the discussions.Spokespeople for the White House, Treasury, Federal Reserve, and FDIC all declined to comment.Any decision to provide unusual assistance to SVB’s depositors would likely draw opposition. As discussions continued Sunday, some experts said that problems at the bank — and others like it — did not pose a threat to the U.S. financial system."I think it’s going to be hard to say that this is systemic in any way,” Sheila Bair, former head of the FDIC, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”The bank’s collapse would cost its shareholders and could trigger economic problems for companies that kept large uninsured sums on deposit, said Anil Kashyap, a professor at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business. But that did not mean the broader financial system would be imperiled as it was during the 2008 crisis.“This isn’t a systemic event. This is a midsize bank that was badly managed,” he said “It may be a little messy. But that’s different than if you have somebody at the core of the financial system stop making payments to somebody else at the core of the system and then the core implodes."The U.S. banking system is highly concentrated, with the top five institutions holding almost $13 trillion in assets. Even if other banks that are comparable in size to SVB suffered depositor runs, the overall financial system would continue to function, he said.Bob Hockett, a Cornell University professor who worked at the central bank, said the FDIC has the legal means under the “systemic risk exception” of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act to intervene.“That option is still available. If there looks like there could be a bank run on all the non Jamie Dimon banks, they can, in a pinch, insure previously uninsured deposits for the full amounts," Hockett said. "They can do this for over $250,000 per deposit.”Top federal regulators briefed key lawmakers about the bank’s collapse and the government’s response late Saturday, with plans to convene again later Sunday afternoon, according to two sources familiar with the matter, who requested anonymity to describe the sensitive discussions.On the late Saturday call, lawmakers sounded an urgent note about the need to find a buyer for SVB, and some raised fresh concerns that there could be financial contagion, especially if the U.S. cannot resolve the bank’s payouts to depositors swiftly, one of the people said.With fears growing that there could be a run on other small or regional banks, some members of Congress also sought to reassure their constituents that their cash is safe. On Sunday, Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) stressed in a statement that the banking system is “stronger and sounder now than any time” since the financial crisis.“I urge the American people to allow the protections already in place to insure individual deposits and the well-being of local and regional banks, particularly in rural communities like we have in West Virginia, to be fully realized before reacting out of fear and amplifying the problem,” he said.

«Vienen décadas complicadas por la jubilación de los 'baby boom'»Afirma que la nueva ayuda de 200 euros por hijo no es «milagrosa», sino una «contribución» a favorecer la natalidad Aiende S. Jiménez | Domingo, 12 de marzo 2023 Jonan Fernández posa con la plaza de Alderdi Eder de Donostia de fondo | Fernando de la Hera El reto demográfico por la crisis de natalidad y el envejecimiento de la población se han convertido en prioridad en Euskadi, más aún cuando la numerosa generación del 'baby boom' está a las puertas de jubilarse. El secretario general de Transición social y Agenda 2030 del Gobierno Vasco, Jonan Fernández, reconoce que vienen décadas «complicadas» en las que habrá un déficit de profesionales en todos los sectores y en las que «necesitaremos a la población inmigrante». La ayuda por hijo que entró en vigor el 1 de marzo o la que se aprobará el año que viene para la emancipación de los jóvenes, sumadas a otras ya en marcha, pretenden contribuir al aumento de la natalidad, pero no son «milagrosas». Además, en un futuro cercano la amplia población de personas mayores exigirá más inversión en cuidados, pero Fernández reconoce que «no hay» recursos económicos para todo y advierte de que el papel de la Administración pública «no es resolver todos los problemas, sino reducir los obstáculos y ampliar las oportunidades».– La crisis demográfica es una de las prioridades del Gobierno Vasco para los próximos años. ¿Qué previsiones tienen de envejecimiento de la población?– Viene una etapa complicada porque toda la generación del 'baby boom', que somos muchos, va a entrar en edad de jubilación, y en los próximos 20-30 años el desequilibrio demográfico va a ser muy evidente. Es un problema que afecta a todo Europa, aunque a Italia, España y Euskadi con especial intensidad.– ¿Con qué consecuencias?– Se va a notar en muchos ámbitos, como en el descenso de las matrículas de los centros educativos o el sostenimiento de las políticas sociales al haber menos cotizantes. La reposición de mano de obra en el mercado laboral es una preocupación reciente y empieza a ser patente un déficit de profesionales en casi todos los ámbitos, por lo que va a ser un campo de actuación prioritario.– ¿Qué papel juega la población inmigrante en este caso?– Les vamos a necesitar. Hasta hace unos años hemos exhibido unos argumentos solidarios y humanitarios en relación con la migración, y ahora a todo eso tenemos que añadirle un argumento de necesidad 'egoísta'. Vamos a necesitar la contribución de personas migrantes en cualquier ámbito del mercado laboral. Para ello hay que generar políticas de atracción de la migración y de talento, aunque tenemos un handicap porque no tenemos capacidad de gestionar permisos de trabajo o de residencia. Se han conseguido mejoras, como con los menores extranjeros no acompañados, que ahora una vez tienen 18 años hay posibilidad de regularizar su situación, pero hay mucho por hacer. – Uno de los principales retos es aumentar la natalidad. ¿Cómo se convence a una persona de que tenga hijos si la mitad del salario va al alquiler o a la hipoteca, si paga más por la cesta de la compra, la luz y el gas, si su jornada laboral apenas le deja tiempo personal...?– El diagnóstico es claro: la inseguridad en el trabajo, la temporalidad, la insuficiencia de los salarios y la carestía e insuficiencia de vivienda son factores claves que dificultan los procesos de emancipación y de construcción de familia, y ahí estamos interviniendo. El papel de las instituciones no es convencer, sino ayudar a crear condiciones para que quien quiera desarrollar proyectos de maternidad o paternidad lo pueda hacer. Eso obliga a intervenir en varios ámbitos, en el empleo, la vivienda, la renta...– El 1 de marzo entró en vigor la ayuda de 200 euros por hijo. ¿Creen que puede contribuir a aumentar la natalidad o dada la situación económica actual solo servirá como un pequeño alivio para las familias?– Las encuestas reflejan que los vascos tienen menos hijos de los que desearían y más tarde de lo que desearían. La filosofía es crear condiciones favorables para que puedan tener los hijos que desean cuando desean sin que estén excesivamente limitados por las condiciones materiales. Esta ayuda es una contribución y estamos ya por encima de las 20.000 solicitudes.– ¿Es una prestación permanente o temporal?– Es indefinida. La problemática demográfica no se puede abordar en plazos cortos, sino en décadas y generaciones. Tiene proyección a medio largo plazo, y está planteada no como una medida aislada que va a producir efectos milagrosos en la demografía, sino como parte de un ecosistema de medidas que tienen que contribuir a lo largo del tiempo a cambiar la situación. – ¿Qué otras medidas?– Están las medidas de conciliación familiar que ya están implantadas en Euskadi, si bien pueden extenderse más en el ámbito de la empresa privada, como las bajas de maternidad y paternidad. A partir de septiembre se implantará la gratuidad de las haurreskolas de 0 a 2 años. También están las deducciones fiscales por hijo que tienen establecidas las Diputaciones; y en 2024 implantaremos las ayudas a la emancipación. Una sola medida no es una fórmula mágica pero sí tenemos confianza en que la suma de ellas contribuya a un cambio de tendencia.– Un problema añadido es el aumento de jóvenes vascos que no quieren tener hijos.– Creo que es un 10% el que declara que no tiene previsto tener hijos. Hay que respetarlo porque forma parte de la libertad de elección de cada persona. Como ocurre con el retraso en la edad de tener descendencia, es algo que está relacionado con un cambio cultural y de mentalidad que está provocado por factores positivos, como la igualdad, el sentido de autodeterminación de las personas para hacer su proyecto de vida en libertad, la incorporación de las mujeres a todos los sectores profesionales y de a vida pública y social... Son factores que generan un contexto diferente que hace que entren en juego otros valores que hace unas décadas no eran importantes.– Ha mencionado la ayuda a la emancipación como forma de contribuir a un aumento de la natalidad. ¿Cómo?– Lo normal observando los modelos europeos es que los jóvenes se emancipen más cerca de los 25 que de los 30. Pero, en general, lo hacen después de los 30, y eso provoca un retraso en la construcción del proyecto de familia y, a su vez, en la primera maternidad. Y en ocasiones causa que solo se tenga un hijo.– Es una prestación de 300 euros al mes para emanciparse pero no está destinada a la vivienda. ¿Puede explicarlo?– La ayuda para vivienda se da a través del programa Gaztelagun. Esta ayuda a la emancipación está focalizada en personas de 25 a 29 años, que es cuando hemos identificado que hay un número muy importante de jóvenes que tienen trabajo pero no les alcanza para irse de casa. Pretendemos otorgar una ayuda que sumada a su salario les permita dar el paso de salir del hogar familiar. Pero no condicionamos la ayuda a que justifiquen que la gastan en vivienda, la pueden destinar a la compra, a formación o lo que consideren oportuno. Aunque sí tienen que demostrar que están viviendo de alquiler o en propiedad. – La sociedad vasca va a envejecer aún más en las próximas décadas. ¿Cuál va a ser el modelo de cuidados para las personas mayores?– Vamos hacia un modelo mucho más personalizado y que se distancia del concepto de tercera edad, que plantea que hay edades de personas mayores, diferentes etapas que tienen formas de vivir que no se pueden uniformizar. Siempre considerando que las personas mayores tienen derecho a autodeterminarse en la edad que sea y que se deben crear condiciones para el desarrollo pleno de sus capacidades en cada etapa. Afortunadamente no partimos de cero, venimos de un trabajo de años realizado por las instituciones vascas y el tercer sector.– Ayudas a la emancipación, a la maternidad, más recursos para los mayores... ¿Hay dinero para todo?– No. Por eso a la hora de crear este tipo de prestaciones le damos muchísimas vueltas para que ayuden a las personas y sean sostenibles para la Administración. Yo estaría de acuerdo en mantener la ayuda por hijo hasta los 18 años, pero hay que administrar unos recursos que son limitados y no podemos cometer la irresponsabilidad de poner en marcha una medida que dentro de tres años resulte inviable económicamente. Además, el papel de la Aministración no puede ser el de resolver todos los problemas que tienen las personas, sino el de reducir los obstáculos y ampliar las oportunidades. Estas ayudas no son milagrosas, favorecen ambas cosas. A Jonan Fernández le tocó la difícil tarea de coordinar el LABI, el órgano que tomó las decisiones sobre las restricciones durante la pandemia.– Supongo que fue una etapa muy dura para usted.– Hubo momentos en los que se hizo muy largo, muy pesado y difícil de gestionar. En los peores momentos de la pandemia, cuando se alargaba después de tantos meses, pensaba que no iba a acabar nunca. Pero teníamos la confianza de darle la vuelta a la situación. Afortunadamente, a pesar de los errores y las dificultades, respondimos razonablemente bien. Lo que me llama la atención en cómo nos olvidamos lo que pasamos, como cuando entramos en una farmacia o un ambulatorio y se nos olvida la mascarilla. Fue una experiencia para aprender mucho pero ojalá no tengamos que volver a enfrentar algo así.– ¿Se arrepiente de algo?– Arrepentirme no. Si volviésemos a empezar, con lo que sabemos, algunas deciones las tomaríamos antes, otras más tarde, seguro. Pero con las herramientas que teníamos hicimos lo que pudimos. Estábamos ante un fenómeno nuevo en el que no sabíamos lo que iba a ocurrir.
No Federal Bailout for SVB, Says US. Bank Had Weakened Regulations, Paid BonusesPosted by EditorDavid on Sunday March 12, 2023 @01:59PM from the bank-shots dept.Today U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Silicon Valley Bank would not be bailed out by the federal government. But the government is working on helping depositors, Yellen said on the CBS News show Face the Nation.The Associated Press reports that deposits insured by the federal government are supposed to be available by Monday morning...CitarThe Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures deposits up to $250,000, but many of the companies and wealthy people who used the bank — known for its relationships with technology startups and venture capital — had more than that amount in their account. There are fears that some workers across the country won't receive their paychecks....[Yellen] emphasized that the situation was much different from the financial crisis almost 15 years ago, which led to bank bailouts to protect the industry. "We're not going to do that again," she said. "But we are concerned about depositors, and we're focused on trying to meet their needs...."Silicon Valley Bank is the nation's 16th-largest bank. It was the second biggest bank failure in U.S. history after the collapse of Washington Mutual in 2008. The bank served mostly technology workers and venture capital-backed companies, including some of the industry's best-known brands.... Yellen said she expected regulators to consider "a wide range of available options," including the acquisition of Silicon Valley Bank by another institution. So far, however, no buyer has stepped forward.CNBC reports that just hours before regulators seized the failing bank — employees were paid their annual bonuses, "according to people with knowledge of the payments."And the Intercept reports that earlier the bank had successfully lobbied for the rollback of protective rules established in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. "The lobbying effort managed to exempt banks the size of Silicon Valley Bank from more stringent regulations, including stress tests aimed at uncovering the type of weaknesses that led to the bank's implosion Friday."But the Washington Post reported that as dramatic as the seizure is, "one thing it doesn't seem likely to do — at least for now — is trigger a wider financial meltdown, banking experts said."CitarUnlike the giant banks that ignited a global crisis in 2008, SVB was heavily dependent upon a single risky sector of the economy for both its depositors and its customers. That concentrated bet proved to be very bad news for the ambitious start-ups that dominate the high-technology world. But it means that the tech-friendly bank lacked the sophisticated financial entanglements with other institutions that can turn one bank's losses into a threat to the entire industry.

La Reserva Federal de EEUU rescata a todos los clientes del Silicon Valley BankLa FED ha asegurado en un comunicado que los "depositantes tendrán acceso a todo su dinero desde el lunes, 13 de marzo". El rescate no se realizará con fondos públicos ni afectará al contribuyente(...)En otras palabras, salvan a los clientes, a todo el sector tecnológico y al sector financiero (en caso de que hubiera contagio), y se deja caer a los bonistas y a los gestores y accionistas del SVB.
