Yellen suggests US bank failures in current situation are distinct from 2008 crisis

Stocks on Wall Street have climbed after the rescue of Credit Suisse calmed nerves about a larger banking crisis.
The United States treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, says the local financial sector is stabilising after it was put to the test by the collapse of two banks this month.
But the world’s largest economy is still facing some strong headwinds.

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen recently addressed concerns over the state of the US banking system, stating that the failures currently being experienced are “very different” from those seen in the 2008 financial crisis.

In remarks made to the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia, Yellen emphasized that the current bank failures are largely a result of lower oil and commodity prices, rather than the kind of systemic weaknesses that led to the 2008 crisis. She noted that, while energy and commodity producers make up only a small fraction of the US economy, the recent drop in prices has had a significant impact on banks that lent heavily to these industries.

Yellen also pointed out that, since the financial crisis, banks have been required to take on higher capital and liquidity standards, which has greatly improved their resilience in the face of economic shocks. This, coupled with the Fed’s “stress testing” exercises, has helped to ensure that US banks are better equipped to deal with financial turbulence than they were in 2008.

However, Yellen warned that there are still risks to the US banking system, particularly in the form of cybersecurity threats and the ongoing issue of “too big to fail” institutions. She emphasized the importance of continuing to implement reforms that promote greater stability in the financial sector.

In conclusion, Yellen’s remarks suggest that while the current wave of bank failures is concerning, it is not indicative of a larger systemic issue. The improvements made to the banking system since 2008 have helped to ensure that banks are better able to withstand economic shocks, but there is still work to be done in terms of addressing remaining vulnerabilities. Ultimately, a continued focus on stability and reform will be key to ensuring a secure and resilient US banking system.

    We are not Arabs, but under Arab colonialism since the Arab lobby took power from French colonialism.  Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the peoples of North Africa (Tamazgha: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Mauritania, and others) have been subjected to compulsive identity arabization .These nationalists regimes employ religion to make Arabism, from which Islam emerged , the only sublime identity for every individual and reject the ancestral  Berber-Mediterranean-African cultural heritage. Through the media and education, they falsify the history of this region and obliterate it. They fuel the conspiracy against the West and Israel to isolate the Amazighs from the dimocratic global ocean and stuff them with Arab ideology to spread Arabism where there are no Arabs ، Until we exported only Islamic terrorism and desperate immigrants.The world genetic map of the peoples determined the percentage of Arabs from one percent in Morocco and Algeria to seventeen percent in Egypt, regardless of geography,archeology ,history and traditions. Few understand the imposed Arabic language and no one speaks it on the ground.We call on free peoples, their parliaments, and human rights organizations to reveal the racist practices of Arab national expansion in North Africa, which even ban the ancestral Amazigh names and stop calling our land the Arab Maghreb, Arab world or the Arab nation.

    People spending is why the costs stay high. They will never go back of consumer don’t stop spending. They are encouraging poor behavior from corporate America and governments alike.

    Inflation is a lot higher than 9% and they aren’t considering shrinkflation or the fact that since FDA guidelines have been laxed companies are allowed to substitute materials and ingredients with inferior quality. INFLATION, SHRINKFLATION & CUTTING COSTS all should be considered when calculating true rises in costs across the board. Food products are smaller in size and quantity, inferior in quality and higher in costs. Customer service has also suffered.
