Analysis of financial services and recent turbulence in the USA banking system

Abstract

Very recently, the three USA banks that failed this year 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), First Republic Bank (FRB) and Signature Bank, accounted for 2.4% of all assets in the banking sector. Still, most economists expect a recession in the second half of this year. They estimate the USA Fed’s high interest rates eventually will be felt more profoundly by consumers and businesses. A significant number of steps have been taken by the federal government to boost confidence in the U.S. financial system appears to have contained a potential banking crisis after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. However, turbulence remains over possible spillover effects. It forecasts global finance from increased scrutiny by U.S. regulators and raises questions about the fitness of banks, financial markets around the world (Graeme. Sipa, March 15, 2023). Risk factors imposed on regulators, politicians and the media for confusing the public, supply chain disruptions about the safety of the USA banks and carried out that conditions might have worsened (Hugh. Son, May 06, 2023). The purpose of this paper is to get a better understanding of the turmoil that has affected the U.S. banking system for this year. While the main objective is to analyze the crisis as a whole, which affected several banks as stated previously, an emphasis will be placed on the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB).
