    Bank Treasurers Seek Shelter from the Storm

    In addition to telling Senators this month during his confirmation that he is not a sock puppet, Kevin Warsh insisted that the Fed’s balance sheet is too big, is harming the economy, and that his job on Day 1 will be to shrink it back to where it was before anyone had ever heard of QE. But here is a question for the newsletter’s fellow bloggers, posters, and readers: how has it hurt the economy? Because, to hear the bank executives who met with investors this month, who were all about optimism and how everything is fine (for now), the harm it is causing is not much in evidence. Certainly, the Fed’s balance sheet cannot be as harmful as all the other chaos these days roiling markets, the price of gas, and fertilizer. The newsletter looks at the plan Kevin Warsh would pursue to shrink the Fed’s balance sheet and what would need to change to get the job done.

    Bank Treasurers in the Land of Make-Believe

    Sometimes, bank treasurers might feel like they’re living in a make-believe world. It’s really tough to stay focused when they’re worried about things like a war in Iran, economic uncertainty, political instability, Fed uncertainty, and big changes like moving to instant payments, rapid industry consolidation, and new, empowered fintech competitors, NDFIs, and AI—all at the same time. They also need to adjust to a new tone with their bank supervisors. This month’s newsletter podcast talks about these challenges and how bank treasurers are navigating through all these rapid changes and 10X volatility.

    Bank Treasurers Out of Africa

    Tried as he might on his African safari vacation, your editor in chief could not ignore the news from back home. He saw a lot of lions, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, hippos, elephants, cheetahs, and leopards, witnessed real-life drama when a cheetah tried and failed to kill a baby wildebeest, and spent countless hours with a guide to point out all the amazing birds in the Serengeti. But all he could focus on was the Kevin Warsh nomination, the FDIC’s new willingness to approve Industrial Loan Company charter applications, and the OCC’s approval of stablecoin-related trust bank charters. If that was not enough to occupy his attention, he could not stop thinking about how the Small Business Administration’s new Small Business Investment Company could be good news for bank treasury.

    Bank Treasurers In Endtimes: Season Two

    Trump’s feud with Powell adds to the chaos in financial markets, but recalls many other episodes in American history when presidents and central bankers clashed. From Andrew Jackson and Nicholas Biddle fighting over the future of the Second Bank of the United States, to Harry Truman firing then-Fed Chair Tom McCabe, which led to the 1951 Treasury Accord, politicians and the Fed manage an uneasy alliance with implications for the future direction of interest rates and the economy. Bank treasurers might think that the Fed’s political independence is sacrosanct, but forget that when the politicians in Congress chartered the Fed in 1914, the Treasury Secretary was a voting member of the FOMC. Bank treasurers who successfully manage through market and economic uncertainty are only doing their jobs by delivering consistent performance through ups and downs.

    Bank Treasurers In the Age of AI

    AI is the future, and the future is now, at least it is one of next year's top priorities for every bank treasurer at large and small banks and credit unions. The question is how? How do you implement AI? The answer to that question is another question: what do you want to do with it? Answering that question is not the IT department's or the intern's responsibility. The use cases need leadership at the top to decide and see implementation through if pilot projects are ever to yield the productivity gains the technology promises.

    Bank Treasurers Try To Connect the Dots

    Dear Bank Treasury Subscribers, Connecting the dots is an age-old pastime, but the dots that bank treasurers see these days are very confusing and challenging to connect, at least without some form of AI. Even the voting members of the FOMC are not sure what picture they see. Amid significant market volatility and economic uncertainty, bank treasurers are just trying to keep their eyes on the horizon and keep their net interest margins steady.

    Bank Treasurers Need Better Deposit Insurance

    Dear Bank Treasury Subscribers, Deposit insurance reform is back in the news. You must have heard about it. The Senate Banking Committee held a hearing on it this month, and judging by the comments from the committee members, they could not have chosen a better bipartisan topic to take up and do some legislating like they get paid to do.
