JPMorgan Chase executives cautioned Friday that harder guidelines in the wake of a trio of bank failures this year would raise expenses for customers and companies, while requiring lending institutions to leave some companies completely.

Rise of the shadow banks
“How much business leaves JPMorgan or the industry if capital ratios go up as much as potentially proposed?” Mayo asked.
CFO Jeremy Barnum stated that banks would raise rates on end users of loans and other items prior to eventually choosing to leave some locations completely.
“To the extent we have pricing power and the higher capital requirements means that we’re not generating the right return for shareholders, we will try to reprice and see how that sticks,” Barnum stated.
“If the repricing is not successful, then in some cases, we will have to remix and that means getting out of certain products and services,” he stated. “That probably means that those products and services leave the regulated perimeter and go elsewhere.”
After the 2008 monetary crisis, increased guidelines required banks to draw back from activities consisting of home mortgages and trainee loans. For corporations and institutional gamers, acquisitions and other substantial loans are now progressively moneyed by personal equity gamers like Blackstone and Apollo.
That has actually added to the increase of non-bank gamers, often described as the “shadow banking” market, which has actually worried some economists due to the fact that they usually deal with lower federal examination than banks.
