Federal Reserve has detailed its expected "major adjustments" in how regulators supervise banks. This is the latest step in the Federal Reserve Governor Bowman’s important measures to relax and optimize bank regulation. On Tuesday, the Federal Reserve released a three-page memo outlining new expectations for its bank examiners, broadly instructing staff to primarily focus on significant financial risks of banks and to limit oversight on other matters. The memo details multiple adjustments that could substantially reduce the scope of work for the Federal Reserve examiners responsible for ensuring banks are safe and sound. At the same time, Bowman has initiated plans to cut the number of Federal Reserve regulators by 30% over the next year. These adjustments are expected to affect the Federal Reserve’s approach to bank regulation in terms of overall stability but will not change its limited regulatory efforts in consumer protection and fair lending laws for small banks.
