  5. Trends • U.S. Banking industry: • Low concentration ratios and mostly smaller banks. Primary cause: Regulatory effect. • Prominent recent trend is consolidation resulting from combined effects of deregulation, disintermediation, technological change & innovation. Merger activity results in excess supply of bank personnel. The emergence of many new (small) banks is noteworthy.

  6. Other Trends • Number of banks continues to decline. • Increase in off-balance-sheet activities. • Increase in income derived from fees-for-service rather than spread income. • Increased competition between banks and across financial services sectors. • Increased competition from foreign FIs.

  9. Key Regulatory Agencies • FDIC • OCC: Primary function is to charter national banks. • FRS: monetary policy, lender of last resort. • National banks are automatically members of the FRS. State-chartered banks can elect to become members.

  10. Key Regulatory Legislation • McFadden Act: Controls branching of national banks. • Glass-Steagall: separates securities and banking activities. • Regulation Q • Bank Holding Company Act and subsequent amendments specifies permissible activities and regulation by FRS of BHCs.

  13. Legislation (continued) • FDIC Improvement Act • Introduced Prompt Corrective Action • Risk-based deposit insurance premiums • Limited “too big to fail”

  14. Legislation (continued) • Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act • Permits BHCs to acquire banks in other states. • Invalidates some restrictive state laws. • Permits BHCs to convert out-of-state subsidiary banks to branches of single interstate bank. • Newly chartered branches permitted interstate if allowed by state law.

  15. Savings Institutions • Comprised of: • Savings and Loans Associations • Savings Banks • Effects of changes in Federal Reserve’s policy of interest rate targeting combined with Regulation Q and disintermediation. • Effects of regulator forbearance. • Qualified Thrift Lender (QTL) test.
