Many factors have contributed to this trend including deregulation, technology, individual bank management, and economic conditions. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) handles insured bank failures. Congress has been monitoring the recent trend and is concerned with the FDIC\u2019s ability to continue to perform its supervisory and insurance operations. The present situation, information on key factors affecting the banking industry, and the FDIC\u2019s role when a bank fails is discussed in this report. The reference section of this issue brief contains a list of CRS products providing background on the FDIC and legislative issues relevant to the agency.", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORT", "active": false, "formats": [ { "format": "PDF", "filename": "files/19870714_IB86148_6e939510075a129dd8f581bac048ec0bf610c15d.pdf" }, { "format": "HTML", "filename": "files/19870714_IB86148_6e939510075a129dd8f581bac048ec0bf610c15d.html" } ], "topics": [ { "source": "LIV", "id": "Finance", "name": "Finance" }, { "source": "LIV", "id": "Economic conditions", "name": "Economic conditions" }, { "source": "LIV", "id": "Banks and banking - Law and legislation", "name": "Banks and banking - Law and legislation" }, { "source": "LIV", "id": "Bank failures", "name": "Bank failures" }, { "source": "LIV", "id": "Economic Policy", "name": "Economic Policy" } ] } ], "topics": [] }
