USA: Trends & Developments

2024 saw a return to stability for the U.S. banking industry, a welcome change from the tumultuous events that disrupted both the sector and its regulators in 2023.  Despite landmark Supreme Court rulings and a contentious presidential election, federal banking agencies moved forward on various efforts to strengthen the resilience and stability of the U.S. financial system and address perceived regulatory and supervisory gaps.
