Supervisory Stress Test
The test is conducted by the Federal Reserve. It looks at what would happen to the 34 largest banks should we go into a deep recession. The Fed projects losses of $493 billion. But there is a total of 5,856 FDIC insured banks. And the federal deposit insurance fund as of March 31, 2017 had on hand only $84.9 billion to bail out all banks that go under. So, who do you think will come to the rescue? You and me!
