Yellen: The US banking system "remains safe"

A week after the second largest bankruptcy in the US banking system, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told the Senate Finance Committee that the nation's banking system "remains strong" and Americans "can be confident" of their deposits.

Ms. Yellen is the first official in President Biden's administration to face lawmakers over the decision to protect unsecured money at two failed regional banks, a move some observers have criticized.

"Qeveria ndërmori veprime vendimtare dhe të fuqishme për të forcuar besimin e publikut" në sistemin bankar të SHBA-së, tha zonja Yellen në dëshminë e saj.

"Unë mund t'i siguroj anëtarët e Komisionit se sistemi ynë bankar mbetet i shëndoshë dhe se amerikanët mund të ndihen të sigurt se depozitat e tyre do të jenë aty kur ata të kenë nevojë për to", tha ajo.

Banka Silicon Valley me qendër në Santa Clara, Kaliforni, falimentoi pasi depozituesit nxituan të tërhiqnin paratë mes shqetësimeve për problemet e bankës. Dy ditë më pas, u mbyll edhe Banka “Signature” e Nju Jorkut.

Departamenti i Drejtësisë dhe Komisioni i Letrave me Vlerë kanë nisur hetimet për falimentimin e Bankës Silicon Valley.

Thursday's hearing was scheduled to discuss President Joe Biden's budget proposal, but with the sudden bankruptcy of the nation's 16th largest bank, Ms. Yellen could not avoid questions about the government's decision-making process on to help the bank./ CNA.al
