This article is on the bank’s website at www.KansasCityFed.org On March 15, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) lowered the federal funds rate—its primary policy tool—to its effective lower bound in response to the pandemic-induced contraction in economic activity. At the same time, the FOMC began engaging in large-scale asset purchases (LSAPs) and provided forward guidance about the future path of the funds rate. Both LSAPs and forward guidance are less conventional tools that the FOMC also deployed to combat the Great Recession of 2007–09. Although the Great Recession and pandemic crisis were driven by very different factors, policymakers in both periods looked to LSAPs and forward guidance to help stabilize financial markets and promote maximum employment and price stability. In theory, LSAPs support the economy by putting downward pressure on longer-term interest rates and improving the flow of credit to households and firms. However, policymakers and economists have yet to reach a consensus on how effective LSAPs are in providing accommodation and improving macroeconomic outcomes. One common approach to measuring the effectiveness of these tools is to study how financial markets respond to announced changes in LSAPs and forward guidance. But the market responses to these tools can be difficult to disentangle because announced changes in LSAPs often coincide with","PeriodicalId":51713,"journal":{"name":"Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis Review","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82801565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although community banks still account for more than 91 percent of all banks today, they hold a much smaller share of total industry assets: in particular, their asset share declined from 38 percent in 1984 to less than 12 percent in 2021. This decline has raised questions about the continued viability of the community bank business model. Community banks play an outsized role in originating loans to small businesses, so a continued decline in their numbers and asset holdings could constrain entrepreneurs’ access to credit—and, accordingly, constrain growth in the overall economy. Understanding the source of this decline is thus important for both regulators and policymakers. One possible explanation for the declining number of community banks is that larger banks have outpaced them in terms of efficiency. Community banks, which have less than $300 million in assets on average, may be less able to benefit from the economies of scale enjoyed by larger banks. In particular, community banks may be less able to afford or adapt to new technologies (such as mobile banking) that make banking more efficient. Moreover, a string of landmark regulatory changes— including the Riegle-Neal Act of 1994, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act","PeriodicalId":51713,"journal":{"name":"Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74198997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article is on the bank’s website at www.KansasCityFed.org The COVID-19 pandemic heightened investor, regulatory, and supervisory concerns about the U.S. banking system’s ability to survive a downturn. Both businesses and consumers pulled back on economic activity at the start of the health crisis, leading firm revenue to decline sharply amid fears of rapidly accelerating job losses, business closures, and lower household incomes. As a result, expectations that businesses and consumers would be unable to continue servicing their debt obligations increased. Investors and bank supervisors began bracing for significant losses at banks, which could threaten the stability of the broader financial system. Policymakers moved quickly to backstop financial markets while supervisors tried to ensure banks could withstand the anticipated loan losses. In June 2020, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System took steps to preserve capital at large banks by capping dividend payments to shareholders and prohibiting common stock repurchases outright for some time. In doing so, supervisors looked to prevent banks from repeating behaviors observed during the 2007–09 global financial crisis (GFC). During that crisis, banks continued to pay dividends to shareholders while suffering sizable losses. Ultimately, those losses left many banks teetering on the edge of failure, and a federal bailout was required to keep the system afloat.","PeriodicalId":51713,"journal":{"name":"Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis Review","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72518191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
