ABA Statement on Federal Reserve Stress Test Results

“The Federal Reserve’s latest stress test results confirm what top regulators have repeatedly stated — America’s banks remain strong and the tested institutions have built up significant capital reserves that will allow them to continue lending and supporting our economy even under the most severe economic conditions. Policymakers should keep today’s results front and center before they consider new Basel capital requirements that would only make it harder for banks of all sizes to meet the needs of their customers, clients and communities.”
