Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michel Bowman has proposed a significant restructuring of the regulatory landscape, moving away from the traditional regional Reserve Bank-led model to a five-region structure. This shift signals a more centralized and potentially stricter approach to bank supervision, with updates to asset thresholds expected later this year. The proposal introduces long-term regulatory uncertainty for the banking sector, particularly for institutions subject to stricter capital and operational rules.
