The testimony discusses the Federal Reserve's supervisory and regulatory oversight of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and its failure due to mismanagement of interest rate and liquidity risk. The bank experienced a run by uninsured depositors, causing it to fail. The Federal Reserve is conducting a thorough review of its supervision and regulation of SVB to identify any failings and address them. This includes examining the bank's growth, management, supervisory engagement, and regulatory requirements. The review also focuses on whether the supervisory approach effectively identifies and mitigates risks, and if the culture, policies, and practices support supervisors in using these tools.

Additionally, the testimony highlights the need for improvements in the resilience of the banking system, including proposing and implementing the Basel III endgame reforms, a long-term debt requirement for large banks, enhancing stress testing, and exploring changes to liquidity rules. The Federal Reserve is also analyzing recent events to better understand changing technologies, emerging risks, and their implications for regulating and supervising financial institutions.
