On June 7th, Federal Reserve Governor Michael Barr criticized regulators' moves over the past year to ease restrictions on bank lending, stating that related proposals "significantly weakened bank regulation." Barr stated that the vulnerabilities resulting from deregulation may not be immediately apparent, but will accumulate problems over the next few years and could cause serious damage to the economy. Trump-era officials have taken steps to ease capital requirements for Wall Street banks, narrow the scope of regulation, and pave the way for competition between traditional banks and private lending giants. Barr warned that weaker capital rules, liquidity requirements, and regulation could increase the risk of bank failures. He pointed out that banks need room to grow to support economic innovation, but long-term experience shows that without proper safeguards, the pursuit of high-profit innovation can lead to excessive risk. When banks run into trouble, their failures threaten businesses and households, and even jeopardize the overall economy.

Federal Reserve Chairman Barr warned that relaxing regulatory rules for Wall Street banks could pose risks.
