Experts flag moral hazard risk as US intervenes in Silicon Valley Bank crisis
#1

UPDATED MAR 13, 2023, 6:05 PM SGT


SYDNEY/NEW YORK - US regulators may have stemmed a banking crisis by guaranteeing deposits of collapsed Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), but some experts warn that the move has encouraged bad investor behaviour.

......

by guaranteeing that depositors would lose no money, the authorities have again raised the question of moral hazard – the removal of people’s incentive to guard against financial risk.

“This is a bailout and a major change of the way in which the US system was built, and its incentives,” said Mr Nicolas Veron, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. “The cost will be passed on to everyone who uses banking services.”

He added: “If all bank deposits are now insured, why do you need banks?”

......

“If the Fed is now backstopping anyone facing asset/rates pain, then they are de facto allowing a massive easing of financial conditions as well as soaring moral hazard,” Rabobank strategists Michael Every and Ben Picton wrote in a note to clients.

......

in doing so, “they took another step towards demonstrating that they are unwilling to allow free markets to sort themselves out”, said Toronto-based independent proprietary trader Kevin Muir.

Some analysts said the US actions were not a bailout, as shareholders and unsecured debt holders of SVB would not be covered.

How stupid can some people be.

Its like saying fireman should not rescue people so they learn not to play with fire.

Those depositors have they done any thing wrong to deserve losses?
The govt is only ensuring depositors get back their funds while creditors and shareholders suffer losses.

China govt has major stakes in the big banks.
They are more or less nationalised and support govt policy.
If they get jnto trouble it could be because govt ask them to lend more to property developers or state enterprises etc.
So bailout is jntegrated to its operations through the govt bailout Bank like Huarong.

Became they operation under so much control from govt bailout is a non issue....and I did not see problem with this.

The problem is the CCP also bailout ship builders,  constriction companies that are state owned these cost tax payers alot of money and penalise the competitive players. 
Such bailouts will hinder China's economic progress as they support inefficient players.

If CCP govt ask the bank to loan to unprofitable biz, then it is only right for govt to bail them out. 

But now US bank didn't do anything for the govt, and now govt is bailing them out.
