Catching Up on Climate Risk Research

Aug 29, 2024 | angrybearblog.com | Sarah Bloom Raskin |Kristina Karlsson |Bill Haskell

Two excellent short and very readable mini articles (to be redundant). Both pieces are pointing to a direction the Fed should take in the next year or sooner with regard to Climate Change. It is doubtful they will do so until catastrophe hits. What is a few $billion more in spending, right??? This aspect of our economy and how it can impact the economy should be taken into consideration in decision making and costs. This is partially why, these two articles which go well together are on Angry Bear.

This week at the Jackson Hole symposium, the annual gathering of the Federal Reserve in the Grand Tetons, the people who guide our financial markets will discuss the state of our economy at large, and onlookers will parse the Federal Reserve chair’s words about monetary policy. But some topics probably won’t come up. Climate impact is the elephant in the room that we haven’t heard about enough from the Fed—and that has to change.
US bank supervision and deposit insurance after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank

Event SummarySilicon Valley Bank's collapse from textbook asset-liability mismanagement raised questions about US banking supervision and whether more could have been done to identify and address vulnerabilities earlier. This session will take stock of US bank supervision and related policy questions, including whether the subsequent decision to fully guarantee all of Silicon Valley Bank's deposits was justified and its implications for the banking sector moving forward.
