Vision

The FDIC is a leader in developing and implementing sound public policies, identifying and addressing new and existing risks in the nation’s financial system, and effectively and efficiently carrying out its insurance, supervisory, and receivership management responsibilities.

  2. FDIC [Public or Private?]

    I just watched CBS’s “The Early Show.” On it, FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair said any additional steps to prop up the banking system will depend in part on a test to determine how the largest banks would fare in a more dire economic condition.

    Bair said that a “stress test” for some 20 of the largest banks will help federal policymakers determine “what type of additional capital investments the government may need to make.

    “If the test shows that banks need more capital, and are unable to raise it privately, then the government might have to act”, she said.

  4. Hi Mr. Bill,

    Now, it seems that Annette Nazareth doesn’t want to work for the Treasury, as Deputy, either.

    While at the SEC, didn’t she create the voluntary programs intended to supervise large investment banks like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch. But, the programs were canceled in September as the financial crisis began and the remaining investment banks converted themselves into holding companies.

    So, much for ethics and volunteerism; eh!
    Ohhhhhhhhhh!
