Big US banks would lose $541 billion in doomsday scenario, predicts the Fed

7/4/2023

According to the Federal Reserve's annual stress tests, the largest banks in the United States would suffer a combined loss of $541 billion in an extreme economic scenario. However, the tests concluded that these banks still possess sufficient capital to absorb such losses, reinforcing assertions made by Wall Street executives and regulators regarding the resilience of systemically important banks.

The passing grades awarded by the Federal Reserve on Wednesday to prominent banks like JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs provide reassurance that they are well-equipped to withstand significant financial setbacks.

Furthermore, the stress test results will influence the capital requirements imposed on banks over the next year. As long as banks meet or exceed these requirements, they will not face restrictions from the Federal Reserve on the amount of capital they can allocate towards shareholder dividends and stock buybacks.

Industry analysts anticipate a decrease in the capital requirements for institutions such as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, and Bank of America as a result of the stress test outcomes.
