Senate pushes for claw back of executive pay in wake of bank failures.

The Senate Banking Committee has approved a bill that would increase penalties for executives of failed banks, increase oversight of the Federal Reserve, and restrict megabank takeovers. The bill reflects a focus on executive mismanagement and regulatory supervision failures. The compromise, which united progressives, conservatives, and moderates on the committee, represents Congress’s most viable political option for revamping the banking system following the rescues of troubled lenders Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic earlier this year. The bill would empower regulators to claw back compensation from leaders of failed banks and expose the executives to higher civil penalties and bans from working in the industry.

Biden urges Congress to hold failed bank executives accountable.

President Biden has called on Congress to impose tougher penalties on executives who oversee failed banks. The move comes after Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank were both taken over by the FDIC in the last week, events that threatened to grow into a larger-scale banking crisis. Biden said that when banks fail due to mismanagement and excessive risk-taking, it should be easier for regulators to claw back compensation from executives, impose civil penalties, and ban executives from working in the banking industry again.

Biden Urges Congress to Strengthen Regulations on Bank Executives and Pay Clawbacks

President Biden has requested Congress to pass legislation that would give financial regulators new powers to recover ill-gotten gains from executives of failed banks and impose fines for failures. The proposal would also seek to bar executives at failed banks from taking other jobs in the financial industry. The measures would build on existing regulatory powers held by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The proposals face an uncertain future in Congress, where Republicans control the House and have opposed other pushes by Mr. Biden to strengthen federal regulations.
