Banks Tapped to Bolster FDIC Resources
FDIC Board Approves Proposed Rule to Seek Prepayment of Assessments FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 29, 2009 Media Contact: Andrew Gray (202) 898-7192 [email protected] The Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation today adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) that would require insured institutions to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. The FDIC estimates that the total prepaid assessments collected would be approximately $45 billion. The FDIC Board also voted to adopt a uniform three-basis point increase in assessment rates effective on January 1, 2011, and extend the restoration period from seven to eight years. FDIC Chairman Sheila C. Bair said, "First and foremost, bank customers should know that their insured deposits have and always will be 100 percent safe, no matter what. This commitment to depositors is absolute. The decision today is really about how and when the industry fulfills its obligation to the insurance fund. It's clear that the American people would prefer to see an end to policies that look to the federal balance sheet as a remedy for every problem. In choosing this path, it should be clear to the public that the industry will not simply tap the shoulder of the increasingly weary taxpayer. This proposal is a vote of confidence for the banking industry's resilience, and it will continue to recover its strength as we work through the significant challenges ahead." Prepayment of assessments will allow the industry to strengthen the cash position of the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) immediately, while allowing the capital impact of deposit insurance assessments to be felt gradually over time as the industry improves its own financial position. The banking industry has substantial liquidity to prepay assessments. As of June 30, FDIC-insured institutions held more than $1.3 trillion in liquid balances, or 22 percent more than they did a year ago. Prepaying assessments will put the industry's liquid balances to good use in conserving capital and helping to maintain the capacity of banks to lend while they rebuild the DIF. FDIC analysis indicates that this arrangement is much less likely to impair bank lending than a one-time special assessment. |

That's not going to happen because the banks are insolvent. The banks are full of the Fed's money. hmmmm... The Banking System Is Insolvent
Following up on the quick mention now that I have a story to cite from Amherst: Cure rates for these distressed loans remain low. Amherst noted a near 0% cure rate of all loans in foreclosure, 0.8% for 90 plus days delinquent, 4.4% for 60 days delinquent and 26.5% for 30-day delinquencies. All told, Amherst expects 12.42% of units (from the 13.54% of properties delinquent and in foreclosure) to eventually liquidate. Let's put some numbers on this. There are roughly 125 million single-family homes in the US. Of those, roughly 30% have no mortgage on them at all. This leaves 87.5 million single-family homes with mortgages. Let us assume the average outstanding balance is $200,000 across the entire set and will take a 40% loss severity. This is less than S&P has estimated for subprime loans and only assumes a roughly 20% market deficiency in the home price (the rest is from legal, rehabilitation and marketing expenses.) These numbers are, with a high degree of confidence (90%+) low - that is, losses will exceed these estimates, perhaps dramatically so. It is, for example, quite reasonable to believe that due to the concentration of defaults in higher-priced areas (e.g. California and Florida) that the average outstanding balance could be close to double that $200,000 value and the loss due to negative equity higher. From this we can develop a "cocktail napkin" view of the losses to be taken in home mortgages for single-family homes (remember, this does not include condos, apartment buildings and similar "commercial" paper.) $200,000 X 40% = $80,000 loss per foreclosure. 87.5 million homes with mortgages X 12.42% = 10,867,500 foreclosures. 10,867,500 x 80,000 ============= $869,400,000,000 or $869 billion in losses remaining in single-family mortgages alone. What if the average outstanding is higher and negative equity greater than 20% (which is likely)? Losses will almost certainly be well north of a trillion dollars. The entire banking system and likely The Fed, given the quantity of Fannie and Freddie paper it has been and is "eating", is insolvent. These facts are why the government is lying - they're well-aware of the near-zero cure rates and know that these facts mean that the banking industry has nowhere near sufficient capital to withstand these losses without folding like a paper cup getting stomped on by an elephant. (Remember that these numbers do not include any commercial real estate losses and we have found that banks are frequently over-stating their claimed values for these loans by 50% or more - as was seen with Colonial.) It gets better. The FDIC has a negative balance both in its fund balance and the reserve ratio projected for the end of the quarter, which is, big surprise, tomorrow. Oh, and there is this pesky problem that the FDIC has - contrary to its mandate - been issuing bond guarantees for banks, so if and when that banking insolvency is recognized the FDIC will implode into a gravity well also, since it is on the hook for the entire deficiency of those bonds that were issued with its "guarantee" should they default. Care to argue with the math folks? |

At the end of July this year, US banks were sitting on $729 billion of cash against $1.9 billion in July last year.
In the United Kingdom, bank cash reserves jumped from £28.6 billion in July last year to £161.3 billion at the end of July this year. In the eurozone, bank reserves climbed to €505 billion in June this year from €227 billion in June last year before settling at €394 billion in July this year. Ok, balance the bank reserves against the hard deposits in institutions. Checking, savings, retirements and such. That amount is somewhere around $5-$7 trillion nationwide. The amount varies of course, but you get the idea. Not all of those deposits would be insured but even so, FDIC can't come close to covering all "fully insured" accounts. Just US accounts. It's getting worse, not better. From the newsletter below:(end of 2008) The FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund reserve ratio fell. A higher level of losses for actual and anticipated failures caused the insurance fund balance to decline during the fourth quarter by $16 billion, to $19 billion (unaudited) at December 31. In addition to having $19 billion available in the fund, $22 billion has been set aside for estimated losses on failures anticipated in 2009. The fund reserve ratio declined from 0.76 percent at September 30 to 0.40 percent at year end.
FDIC Febuary Mewsletter So at the end of 2008 with a reserve ratio of .76 down to .40, instead of getting 76 cents on your dollar, you would have gotten 40 cents coverage. Where does the rest of the money come from? They want to borrow from other banks (the shell game). Also realize that FDIC started this year with around $55 billion, and they want another $36 billion prepay for the next 3 years to bring their total to about $45 billion after expeditures. That means they spent $45 billion this year. So $45 billion is not enough to cover the next 3 years since it took $45 billion just to cover this year's failures. What happens next year when they run out of money? It can't last. It just can't. ![]() At the end of June they were up to 416 troubled banks. Troubled? Some "troubling" shenanigans going on with "troubling" numbers and very few talking about it. Despite all the talk by zero and that crowd about how wonderful everything is, barely saved from the abyss, I ain't seeing it. Fed.gov tax receipts doesn't reflect the economic turnaround.

I believe they have the ability to borrow up to 500 billion if other banks fail and they need access to funds. I don't want to take away from how f'd up it is that they are in the negative however wanted to point out that no one's money is "unsafe" if their bank were to go under. Great, another 500 billion fucking "borrowed." No worries people, they will just move on to ass raping your unborn grandkids kids, your money is perfectly safe ![]() Agreed ![]() They do not have that ability. The bill never past the committee. Even if it did they will not be able to draw it out because the US debt limit will be reach. That's why the are forcing the banks to pay 3 years in advance for the insurance. That's not going to happen because the banks are insolvent. The banks are full of the Fed's money. The banks are insolvent. Period. That's why they are closing down left and right. That is why the FDIC has no more money to back depositors. Not all banks. Read this: http://mises.org/story/3697 At the end of July this year, US banks were sitting on $729 billion of cash against $1.9 billion in July last year.
In the United Kingdom, bank cash reserves jumped from £28.6 billion in July last year to £161.3 billion at the end of July this year. In the eurozone, bank reserves climbed to €505 billion in June this year from €227 billion in June last year before settling at €394 billion in July this year. With a few exception almost all the banks are insolvent. Credit Unions suppose to be the safest banks of them all but five of them failed this year. |
