banking crisis that hit America lately and further raise fears of a full-blown banking failure such as at the beginning of 2008 great presentation I have explained the differences between the current crisis and 2008 great recessions in the previous video however the video was only published in Bahasa Indonesia in this video however I try to make it in two languages one in Barca Indonesia for those interested in Baza Indonesia you may want to check in the Link Card above now this video once again reiterates my argument on this matter that this crisis is actually different than what happened in 2008. now let's discuss one by one on the analysis circulating in social media regarding the main course or the bankruptcy of this American Regional Banks first analysis is the cause of silvergate's signature and svb's bankruptcy was due to the fractional Reserve banking system the camp that addressed to this view usually comes from the crypto community this is understandable because Bitcoin itself was born as a reaction to the failure of the fractional Reserve banking system back in 2008 Great Recession I will try to explain this fractional Reserve banking system in a simple way so that all of you can also understand the banking system adopted by everyone in the world these days now let's say there is NB he deposited his money ten thousand dollars in Bank X then comes Brian he borrows money from Bank X and Bank eggs lend him nine thousand dollars which is actually came from Andy's deposit Brian then used the money he borrowed in a month or nine thousand dollars to buy a car from Charlie and Charlie put the money from the sale of his car to bank X the total balance of Bank X is now nineteen thousand dollars then came Diana who wanted to borrow money from the bank and the bank then lent her eight thousand one hundred dollars out of Tally's savings see then use the money to buy a machine from Andy and Eddie then kept the money from his revenue of eight thousand one hundred dollars back in Bank X banking's total balance now is uh ten thousand dollars from Andy's savings nine thousand from Charlie savings and eight thousand one hundred dollars of NB savings which add up a total twenty seven thousand one hundred dollars in fact do you remember that the real cash is actually only ten thousand dollars and we're gonna call this ten thousand dollars as m0 the real cash real physical cash meanwhile assuming all savings including Andy tally and Eddie are ordinary savings that can be withdrawn at any time by them the total balance now will be twenty seven thousand one hundred dollars and we're gonna call this twenty seven thousand one hundred dollars as m one if later Bank age uses a portion of this M1 to infest for example ten thousand dollars in government bonds in this regard for instance U.S treasury bonds then now the money supply becoming total and one of twenty seven thousand one hundred dollars plus ten thousand from the treasury and now the total money in circulation becoming thirty seven thousand one hundred dollars and now we're gonna call this 37 100 as M2 if you notice the total money supply is already increased 271 percent above m0 or real actual physical cast that came from Andy's original deposit fractional Reserve banking or frb is the magic of the modern banking world with this system the economy can move much faster because the money supply is much larger than the accessing physical money or real cash that's the positive side but if you pay attention carefully the this is called Leverage and leverage always contain risk what if for some kind of reason Andy entirely and Eddie at the same time suddenly we draw their fans otherwise known as Bank Run bang X certainly doesn't have sufficient cash to pay Andy Charlie and Eddie all at once a very shocking situation for all depositors where the amount of cash available in their bank is actually insufficient at this moment you may start wondering does it means that if all depositors of all the banks in the world withdraw their money at the same time then the available money in the banks will not be sufficient the answer is unfortunately yes it is theoretically true but the question is why suddenly a Bank's customer simultaneously withdraw their funds all at once the answer is because there is a crisis of trust for some kind of reasons the Bank's customer feel it is no longer safe to keep their money in the bank anymore if the fractional Reserve banking system is the sole cause for the bankruptcy of silvergate signature and Silicon Valley bank then why in the svb case svb customers flop to withdraw their funds from svb as well as other Regional Banks and transfer them to much much bigger National Banks such as JPMorgan Citibank Morgan Stanley Bank of America Wells Fargo and other banks with some much much bigger than svb there is even a term for this and this is called flight to Quality if fractional Reserve banking is the only cause of silvergate signature and svb's value then why flight to Quality other Banks should also have the same potential risk which is frb but why do these Regional based customers put their funds back into other banks that also use the same potential problematic fractional Reserve banking system clearly fractionalism banking system is not the main reason that caused 2023 banking crisis so now let's move to the second analysis second analysis the cause of svb and Regional Banks bankruptcy was because the fat risk the fat fund rate very aggressively now back in 2020 in plain view svb and Regional banks in America since the FED implemented quantitative easing in 2020 to prevent economic freeze due to the covid-19 pandemic have experienced a very large increase in the flow of funds in the case of svb the growth of tax startups funded by Financial capitals resulted in svb growing enormously rapidly it is not coincidence both svb and Tech startups are mainly located in Silicon Valley svb then invest These funds in U.S 30 years treasury bonds which is the safest investment in the world in contrast to 2008 Lehman Brothers in person is found in high-risk assets namely the mortgage-backed security called CDO generated from subprime mortgage which we all know later becoming defaulted you are of course asking if svb invests in high quality bonds then how come it went bankrupt the answer is because in 2020 to 2021 period U.S treasury bonds have very small interest which was actually not a problem because at maturity svb will get back the principle along with the interest however in 2022 the FED is Raising interest rate aggressively within one year the FED has raised interest rate from 0.25 to 4.75 the fastest rate high since 1980. If the Fed height the interest rate then the U.S the TS treasury bonds helped by svb will decrease in value because everyone now will start thinking why buy government bonds from svb well if they just buy it from the treasuries they will definitely get much higher coupon please remember that the decline in the value of Treasury Bonzer sets owned by svb is actually unrealized loss and therefore it did not need to be recorded in the financial statement until they were forced to sell it this is because if these bonds are held by svb until maturity then they will get back the whole principle along with the interest resulting no loss at all in fact they make some money however the problem was started when the fat raised interest rates and there was so many troubled startups forcing them to withdraw their funds for example to pay severance pay for the employees because they were forced to lay off hundreds of even thousands of workers now remember the frb principle I explained at the beginning when there is a massive withdrawal of funds the cash funds available at the bank the m0 of course will not be sufficient M1 is always much bigger than m0 this made as we be forced to place all of its treasury bonds assets in ASF or asset for sale status and this was done when the value of the treasury bonds has dropped significantly since the early svb was forced to cut loss and in the case of svb this has increasingly triggered all other svb customers to withdraw funds in large numbers svb then collapsed this second analysis is the most widely circulated in mainstream media social media among startup activists and Society in general and now we come to the third analysis the deregulation of the Dodd-Frank Act during Donald Trump presidency even though it sounds the most political from all the three analysis in my opinion this is the most logical one after the 2008 crisis Senator Barack Obama succeeded in becoming president to replace George W bush during the two periods of this tenure there were many reforms he made one of them is the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform and consumer protection act through the Dodd-Frank and Obama laid a very solid foundation for the American banking system and at the same time restored Financial stability with his new law the FED is required to impose a series of very strict stress tests on all banks with assets about 50 billion dollars every single year the aim is that if a crisis occurs all these banks will have sufficient cash funds if customers withdraw their funds on a large scale however the Dodd-Frank Act was silenced by several Banks owners who tried to Lobby Congress to provide concessions the strict rules contained in the Dodd-Frank Act made it difficult for them for the regional Banks to grow especially if they had to compete with giant Banks gregbecker the CEO of Silicon Valley Bank is one of those who has 4 seriously for this deregulation proposal in 2017 Donald Trump replaced Obama and became the 45th president of America during the Trump administrations there were many regulations that were born under Obama which were then amended again the Dodd-Frank Ang unfortunately is one of them on May 24 2018 Trump signed a new law which in principle wrote back the Dodd-Frank Act on bank with the sets below 250 billion dollars since then all regional banks with a set below 250 billion dollars are no longer required to undergo the annual stress test by the FED as stated in the dot-frame ACT that's why if you see why the American banks that currently in trouble are only the regional banks with an asset value of under 250 billion dollars a group of banks that have never been conducting stresses since May 24 2018. the day the bill was signed by Donald Trump this trans Regional Banks deregulation policy reminds me of the indonesian's monetary crisis took places in 1998. if many of us Indonesians complains about the exchange rates of the rupiah against the U.S dollars it was in this year in this particular year that the value of the rupiah dropped drastically within just few months the US dollar since rates shot up from 2 380 rupiah per dollar to 16 650 rupiah per dollar there was 16 Banks closing the period of 1997 1998 38 banks in 1999 and three more Banks were liquidated in 2004-2005. there are many analysis of the crisis of confidence that occurred at this time however if we look back in our history 1988 bang Indonesia our Central Bank launched something called October 1988 and we call it pacto 88. one of the fundamental basic Provisions in Pato 88 was that it was easier to establish a national private bank with only a minimum capital of 10 billion rupees or around 4.2 million dollars during that time everyone can establish a Commercial Bank as for the establishment of people's credit bank or Bank per credit BPR a minimum capital of only 50 million rupians or around twelve thousand dollars only should be sufficient history proves that facto 88 was actually a time bomb that exploded 10 years later that was during the 1998 crisis this is I believe the time when America should be humble and start learning from Indonesia's history be careful with the deregulation of the banking system the fractional Reserve banking system itself has already contained very high leverage on the macroeconomic carried out through the monetary world all levels naturally contains risk and the only way too many species is through regulation so now we come to the conclusion currently there are three opinions about the causes of bankruptcy of these Regional banks in America Silver Eagle Bank Signature Bank and Silicon Valley Bank the first is fractional Reserve banking the second is because the fair Trace interested aggressively and the third is because of the deregulation of regional Banks under Donald Trump all three are certainly influential but in your opinion out of these three which has the most influence in causing the bankruptcy failure of the regional banks in America that happened lately let's discuss it in the comment section below and by the way this is the first time I made video in English so I do apologize for any
