Banks Can Count on the Discount Window if Regulators Allow It
Original: Banks Can Count on the Discount Window … if Regulators Will Let Them
The Bank Policy Institute argues that banks should be able to rely on the Federal Reserve's discount window as a liquidity backstop, but only if regulators make it easier and less stigmatising to use. The industry group contends that supervisory attitudes still discourage banks from borrowing, weakening a key safety tool and leaving the system more exposed in times of stress.
Why now: Ongoing debate over bank liquidity rules and access to the Fed's discount window after recent banking-sector stress.
