Bowman, Supervisory Modernization After Silicon Valley Bank

FRB All Speeches | neutral | Published: 22:55 Oct 14, 2026 (Eastern)

Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle W. Bowman delivered a speech at the Bangkok Economic Festival on October 14, 2026, addressing supervisory modernization in the wake of Silicon Valley Bank's (SVB) 2023 failure. The speech drew on findings from an independent review of SVB's collapse that Bowman commissioned earlier in the year. The review found that Federal Reserve supervisors were aware of SVB's significant interest rate and liquidity vulnerabilities at least nine months before the FDIC took the bank into receivership but failed to act in a timely manner. The review attributes this failure primarily to longstanding uncertainty about decision-making authority and lack of clear accountability within the Federal Reserve System—not to social media-driven bank runs, statutory tailoring, or the 2018 regulatory reform law, as prior reports had suggested. The review also noted that SVB accumulated 54 supervisory findings between 2019 and its failure, none of which required the bank to address its core financial risks. Bowman outlined steps the Federal Reserve is taking to address these shortcomings, including clearer allocation of authority between Board and Reserve Bank staff, defined decision rights for examiners, and direct escalation channels to senior leadership, referencing a Statement of Supervisory Operating Principles published in fall 2025 that has since been updated to incorporate lessons from the independent review. Bowman also criticized the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and the Financial Stability Board for relying on earlier, incomplete U.S. reports about SVB when developing international standards, including language taken nearly verbatim from those reports without independent verification, and called on both institutions to refocus on material risks, validate data rigorously, and adhere to their core mandates. The speech emphasized that supervisory modernization means prioritizing the most material risks rather than doing less overall, and that proportionality in supervision should direct intensity according to an institution's size, complexity, and systemic importance.
