US Treasury Secretary Yellen: The regulators’ focus on the Silicon Valley banking case is to protect depositors rather than investors

On March 13, US Treasury Secretary Yellen said that regulators had been working hard to solve the bank failure in Silicon Valley all weekend, and the most important thing was to protect depositors rather than rescue investors. But she declined to disclose details of the potential solution. Yellen also said that during the financial crisis, investors and owners of systemically important banks were rescued. Now we will not do this again. The reform we have been carrying out all the time also means that we will not do this. We are concerned about depositors, and we will focus on meeting their needs.

Interpretation of this information:

US Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, has announced that regulators have been working tirelessly to address the issue of a potential bank failure in Silicon Valley over the weekend. However, Yellen emphasized that protecting depositors was more important than rescuing investors. Yellen declined to provide additional details regarding the potential solution.

Yellen also commented on the financial crisis, stating that investors and owners of systemically important banks were saved during the time of the crisis. However, this approach is not a viable solution in the current scenario, and the regulatory reforms mean that rescuing investors is not on the table. The focus is on depositors and meeting their needs.
