Federal Reserve warned of Silicon Valley Bank's risk management before collapse.
TL;DR Summary
The Federal Reserve had been warning Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) about its risk management systems since at least 2019, according to a report. The Fed issued a "Matter Requiring Attention" citation in January 2019, and again in 2020, stating that SVB's system to control risk did not meet the expectations for a large financial institution. Despite these warnings, SVB continued to rapidly grow, with assets nearly doubling from 2020 to the end of 2021. Questions remain around why SVB was allowed to double in size after the Fed raised concerns about its risk management systems. A Federal Reserve review of its oversight of SVB is due by May.
