OCC Takes Measures To Address Critical Risks in The Banking System

Mortgage News June 29, 2023

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has released its Spring 2023 Semiannual Risk Perspective, highlighting important matters affecting the federal banking system. According to the report, the OCC states that the federal banking system is robust and in good overall condition.

During the recent period of market stress, the OCC has diligently observed the state of the institutions under its supervision. It has actively communicated with banks to ensure the effective management of risks and the restoration of trust in the U.S. banking system. The report indicates that the banking system experienced heightened instability primarily caused by a liquidity crisis in the first quarter of 2023.

The OCC’s Spring 2023 Semiannual Risk Perspective focuses on various risks, including liquidity, operational, credit, and compliance. The report emphasizes the OCC’s efforts to address climate-related financial risks within the federal banking system. It also addresses the challenges and expenses associated with maintaining outdated technologies and systems that are nearing obsolescence, underscoring the significance for banks to invest in and align technology with their business objectives.

The Spring 2023 Semiannual Risk Perspective addresses the risks impacting national banks, federal savings associations, and federal branches and agencies. The data used in the report is as of December 31, 2022, unless stated otherwise. The report provides insights in the following five primary areas:

  • Operating environment
  • Overall bank performance
  • Special topics in emerging risks
  • Trends in key risks
  • Supervisory actions

Based on its analysis and observations, the OCC foresees the potential for a moderate recession in the latter part of 2023. This assessment takes into account various factors, including economic indicators, market trends, and potential risks. While the exact timing and severity of the recession are uncertain, the OCC remains vigilant in monitoring the situation and working closely with banks to mitigate potential impacts and promote financial stability. Continued economic analysis and proactive measures will be crucial in navigating and managing any potential challenges that may arise during this period.
