A coming regulatory proposal will overhaul how large, regional banks prepare living wills for the event of their own failures, U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Chairman Martin Gruenberg said Monday.
The announcement comes as U.S. regulators continue their efforts to strengthen oversight of the banking system, particularly in light of a string of collapses in March that included some of the largest in U.S. history.
"To that end, the FDIC plans to issue a notice of proposed rulemaking in the near future that will be a comprehensive restatement of the rule for notice and comment," Gruenberg said in prepared remarks.
