Defining A Bank, Federal Reserve Governor Michelle W. Bowman, At The American Bankers Association 2024 Conference For Community Bankers, San Antonio, Texas

Date 12/02/2024

Thank you for the invitation to join you in San Antonio today for the ABA's Conference for Community Bankers. This conference provides an opportunity for bankers, state and federal regulators, and other policymakers to share perspectives on banking and other related financial topics. The ability to exchange ideas is critical to ensuring efficient and effective outcomes in the regulation and supervision of financial services activities. Policymakers should seek to fully understand the direct and indirect consequences of regulation and supervision—and any changes that might be considered to existing expectations. One of the best, and most effective ways to gain this understanding is through direct engagement with bankers, bank customers, and other stakeholders about potential consequences. Engaging with the public, being transparent about policy goals, and hearing from industry participants—enables us to craft more efficient and effective rules and enhance our ability to execute our supervisory responsibilities.
