Exclusive: US regulators cancel bank exams as Trump rollback gathers pace U.S. regulators are pulling back on some bank exams and the use of confidential disciplinary notices, a sign lenders are already benefiting from a softer touch under President Donald Trump's administration, said more than half a dozen industry executives.

Weak bank supervision → bank failures → taxpayer bailouts. Bank CEOs walk away. The rest of us pay. How many times have we seen this movie before?

Fed officials, banking experts discuss regulatory rewrite effort at conference By Pete Schroeder WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve continued work on its comprehensive effort to rewrite bank rules with a daylong conference at its headquarters on Tuesday. At the conference in Washington, regulatory officials, bankers, industry lawyers and other experts discussed a range of tougher bank rules put in place after the 2008 financial crisis, and ways to refine them. The outcome could save large banks billions of dollars in capital costs, which they argue would free them to engage in more lending and other activities, but skeptics warn could make banks less resilient in future shocks. "We need to ensure that all the different pieces of the capital framework work together effectively. Doing so will help maintain a safe, sound, and efficient banking system, for the benefit of the people we serve," Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in introductory remarks. The event was pushed by Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman, who stepped into the U.S. central bank’s top regulatory post in June after being nominated for the role by President Donald Trump. Bowman, a member of the Fed’s Board of Governors since 2018, has charted an ambitious agenda to reconsider a raft of longstanding bank requirements. The conference tackled nearly every major bank capital requirement imposed by the Fed and other U.S. bank regulators following the crisis 17 years ago, including leverage requirements, additional surcharges imposed on large global banks, and annual "stress tests" of large bank finances. Banks have increasingly complained over the years that the rules have become unnecessarily onerous and outdated, which has helped push financial activity out of the traditional banking sector into less heavily regulated non-banks. "It’s really about striking that balance between economic growth and safety and soundness," said Sheara Fredman, chief accounting officer at Goldman Sachs. Many of those rules are being rewritten by regulators, or officials have discussed potential changes. The industry garnered a major victory last year when it effectively sidelined an effort to overhaul how banks gauge their risk known as the "Basel III endgame," which would have drastically raised large banks’ capital requirements. Banks intensely lobbied against the initiative, which was pushed by Bowman’s predecessor, Fed Governor Michael Barr. On Tuesday, much of the conversation was aimed at how remaining rules could be changed to ease bank burdens, including by advancing a new version of the Basel framework that minimizes the capital impact of new risk measurements.

Basel Committee makes climate risk disclosure for bank regulators voluntary By Virginia Furness and Marc Jones LONDON (Reuters) -The world’s forum for banking regulators published a framework for disclosing climate-related risks on Friday, making the implementation voluntary, following pushback from the U.S. The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, made up of banking regulators and central bankers from the G20 economies and other countries, said it would be up to national regulators to decide whether to require banks to disclose climate-related risks, a proposal that has been under discussion for years. In a statement, the committee said it acknowledged "that the accuracy, consistency and quality of climate-related data are evolving, and therefore it is necessary to incorporate a reasonable level of flexibility into the final framework." Policymakers and banking regulators around the world have been debating the extent to which climate change should be embedded into regulation and central bank policy, a tussle analysts say is likely to shape decision making. The framework asks banks to identify how climate risk could impact their financial returns and risk profile and map how they intend to respond to it. It asks them to consider both "physical risk" like flooding and heat stress and "transition risk", which includes changes to climate policy affecting agriculture. In Europe, authorities have been ramping up efforts to address climate-related risks, with the European Central Bank and others making management of climate risks a key priority. In the U.S., however, efforts have been scaled back or even shelved under the new administration of President Donald Trump. In January, the Federal Reserve withdrew from the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS), the main global body devoted to policing climate risk in the financial system, while a number of top U.S. commercial banks have dropped climate targets. The updated framework follows a lengthy consultation process which resulted in several changes to Basel’s original proposal, first published in November 2023, the Basel Committee said. As well as stressing the voluntary nature of the proposal, the Basel Committee removed the requirement for banks to report on the carbon emissions associated with their capital markets activities and trading, known in the industry as "facilitated emissions." The committee said it would monitor relevant developments, including the implementation of other reporting frameworks and disclosure practices, and consider whether any revisions to the framework would be warranted in future.

Exclusive-EU to delay bank rules as it waits for Trump’s deregulation moves, sources say By Francesco Canepa, Jan Strupczewski and Giuseppe Fonte FRANKFURT(Reuters) -The European Union is set to delay new, global rules governing banks’ trading again as it waits for more clarity about the U.S. administration’s plans to deregulate its financial sector, sources told Reuters. The Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) is a key part the Basel III package devised in the wake of the global financial crisis but not yet implemented by Britain or the United States, two of the world’s key financial centres. Its adoption in the EU was already pushed back by a year to 2026 last year, when it became clear that the United States would not be able to adopt the rules by its original deadline. The latest, one-year postponement to January 1, 2027 reflects pressure from European banks fearing they will find themselves at a disadvantage to their U.S. and UK rivals, five senior officials at European and national institutions said. A senior EU source said European Commissioner Maria Luís Albuquerque informed the bloc’s finance ministers about the delay at a meeting on May 13. The European Commission had said it would make a decision on whether or not to postpone the FRTB by the end of June after consulting with the industry and its supervisors. The FRTB governs capital and reporting requirements relating to banks’ trading assets, crucially including how risk should be measured using a standard method or banks’ own calculations. The United States has stalled the introduction of the entire Basel III package and U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration signalled it might even relax some of the existing rules, in what would mark a U-turn from the push for more controls that followed the 2007-2009 financial crisis. European banks have urged the EU to refrain from imposing new burdens that their competitors overseas do not face. "It now looks as if this set of rules will not exist in the U.S. and we know that Brussels is looking at this carefully," Commerzbank (ETR:CBKG)’s chief executive Bettina Orlopp said at a conference on Monday. "We have to be careful that we maintain the international competitiveness of European banks." The European Central Bank, the EU’s top banking watchdog and for a long time a staunch defender of a timely implementation of Basel III, proposed a compromise earlier this month. It envisaged a one-year delay to rules applied to banks’ internal risk models, while those concerning the one-size-fits-all, "standardised approach" would be phased in over three years starting in 2026. Some governments have also weighed in, with French President Emmanuel Macron calling for a "synchronisation" on financial rules between the EU, the United States and Britain. Britain earlier this year pushed back its Basel III implementation to 2027 while Washington has yet to unveil a timeline. In contrast, the EU has already implemented most of the Basel III package, which took effect this year. China, Japan and Canada have done so long ago. In March, the European Commission launched a consultation, asking banks and supervisors if they thought the FRTB should go live next year, be delayed by 12 months or tweaked to align it more with draft U.S. and UK rules. The International Swaps and Derivatives Association, a global lobby, said "a clear majority" of its own members also favoured a delay, although a minority preferred that the FRTB took effect next year to avoid running both new and old rules at once.

Too much uncertainty amid Gaza war to allow dividend boost, Israel banking regulator says TEL AVIV (Reuters) -Israel’s banking regulator on Monday said it was still too early to give the green light to commercial banks to raise dividend payouts due to ongoing economic uncertainty stemming from the war in Gaza. At the outset of the war triggered by Hamas’ October 2023 attack on Israel, the central bank told lenders to hold off on large payouts in order to be able to provide sufficient credit. Banks responded by reducing payouts to 15-20% of quarterly net profit - from as much as 50% prior to the conflict. They have since been allowed to raise that to 40%, with most banks paying out 30% of net profit in the form of dividends and another 10% in share buybacks. With strong capital ratios and profits, banks have lobbied for a rise back to 50% despite public anger that lenders are cashing in on higher interest rates while dragging their feet on raising savings rates. "Between 40 and 50 percent is not really significant," Supervisor of Banks Daniel Hahiashvili told a news conference. "But we still think we are in a period of uncertainty in the economy so banks need to preserve their capital buffers. "What we are conveying to the banks is that the main concern remains risk and the importance of strengthening capital ratios and our discussions with the banks are aimed at clarifying this approach," he said, declining to set a time frame for allowing higher payouts. Bank Hapoalim (TASE:POLI) earlier said it would distribute 970 million shekels ($274 million) to shareholders in dividends and buybacks, while Israel Discount Bank will pay out a total of 40% of quarterly net profit, adding that it would raise that to 50% once permitted by the banking regulator. ($1 = 3.5410 shekels) Should you invest $2,000 in DSCT right now? With DSCT making headlines, savvy investors are asking: Is it truly valued fairly? In a market full of overpriced darlings, identifying true value can be challenging.

US Treasury department prepares to streamline banking regulators, Semafor reports (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury department is preparing recommendations for streamlining some banking regulators, Semafor reported on Monday, as it seeks a stronger role in the oversight of the country’s biggest lenders. The recommendations could impact the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the report said, citing three people familiar with the process. The Treasury department, FDIC and OCC did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment. The Trump administration has embraced an expansive view of the presidential power. Last month, an executive order gave the White House greater control over independent agencies. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s push for greater control over banking regulators aligns with this strategy, according to the Semafor report. If approved, the recommendations could be the latest in a series of assertive measures by the administration, which has moved to defund federal programs and freeze billions of dollars in spending approved by Congress. Officials have already taken steps to reshape the financial industry and loosen regulation. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — a top consumer watchdog — has been largely dormant after the Trump administration ordered it to halt all activity. The OCC, the regulator charged with monitoring large national banks, told staff last month it was firing 76 probationary employees.
