Summers “I don’t think this is a time for moral-hazard lectures” Silicon Valley Bank

Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers “I don’t think this is a time for moral-hazard lectures or for talk about teaching people lessons,” 

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp only insures bank deposits of up to $250,000. But a large share of the money deposited at SVB was uninsured: more than 93% of domestic deposits as of Dec. 31, according to a regulatory filing.

“There are dozens, if not hundreds, of startups that were planning to use that cash to meet their payroll next week,”  “I don’t think this is likely to be a broadly systemic problem.”

Silicon Valley-banken SVB är den största att gå omkull i USA sedan finanskrisen 2008. Sparekonomen Frida Bratt tycker dock att det är för tidigt att utropa nästa kris.

– Det är stort och skapar stor nervositet för att andra banker ska dras med. Men jag tycker att man ska försöka lugna sig lite innan man ropar att en ny kris är här, säger sparekonomen Frida Bratt.
