** How Deregulation Made the SVB Collapse More Likely
------------------------------------------------------------
The sudden collapse of Silicon Valley Bank—the second largest bank failure in US history—sent shock waves around the world this past week.

“[D]ue to the rollback of several key Dodd-Frank provisions and an emphasis by lawmakers in 2018 that midsize banks receive lighter oversight than large banks, regulators did not supervise these banks sufficiently,” Phillips explains.
“SVB was one of the institutions that saw its regulations and oversight weakened.”
