Federal Reserve: Central Bank Lending Lessons from the 2023 Bank Crisis

Timothy Sablik

Econ Focus, 2024, vol. 24, issue 3Q, 4-7

Abstract: In the spring of 2023, a pair of fast-moving bank runs threatened to spark a widespread financial panic. On March 9, the 16th largest bank in the country, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) in Santa Clara, Calif., lost a quarter of its deposits in a single day. It was set to lose another 62 percent of deposits the following day before it was closed by regulators. On March 10, New York-based Signature Bank experienced a similarly rapid flight of 20 percent of its deposits. It was closed by regulators on March 12.
