FDIC-insured banks and cost savings organizations made $70.8 billion in the 2nd quarter of 2023, a decrease of $9 billion from the very first quarter, according to the FDIC’s newest Quarterly Banking Profile, launched today. However, after omitting nonrecurring accounting gains from the Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank acquisitions that took place in Q1 and Q2, earnings was approximately flat from the previous 2 quarters, the firm included.
Total deposits decreased for the 5th successive quarter, FDIC Chairman Martin Gruenberg stated in his summary of the report. Still, deposit outflows moderated considerably, and while there was an outflow of deposits from smaller sized banks to the biggest banks in Q1, that does not seem the case in Q2. Global systemically essential banks reported a 1.2% decrease in overall deposits, driven by a 3% drop in uninsured deposits. “Rather than a simple story of deposits flowing to the largest banks, the second quarter’s deposit story appears to have been more about pricing pressures from depositors seeking higher yields, often at nonbank financial institutions, particularly money market mutual funds,” he stated.
The Deposit Insurance Fund balance was $117 billion on June 30, up around $900 million from completion of the Q1, Gruenberg stated. The reserve ratio—the fund balance relative to insured deposits—reduced by one basis indicate 1.10% as guaranteed deposits increased at a rate a little greater than the DIF balance. Despite the Q2 decrease, the reserve ratio presently stays on track to reach the 1.35% minimum reserve ratio by the statutory due date of September 2028, he included.
Total loans increased by $86.5 billion throughout the quarter, or 0.7%. An boost in charge card balances and loans to nondepository organizations balance out decreases in business and commercial and automobile loaning, Gruenberg stated. The banking market reported yearly loan development of 4.5% from the previous year, which was led by greater one-to-four household domestic home mortgages, customer loans and nonfarm, nonresidential business property home mortgages.

The Quarterly Banking Profile reveals that the banking market stays resistant amidst ongoing financial unpredictability, American Bankers Association Chief Economist Sayee Srinivasan stated. He kept in mind that the report revealed that banks of all sizes saw ongoing loan development in Q2 as credit quality stayed strong and delinquency rates remained low, and earnings stayed high by historic requirements.
“Despite tightening monetary policy and intense competition, deposits remained largely stable and banks continued to meet their customers’ credit needs,” Srinivasan stated. “Anticipating continued financial headwinds in the months ahead, banks increased loan-loss provisioning to guarantee they are gotten ready for future dangers.
“All told, the latest QBP shows that the industry remains well capitalized and continues to support businesses and communities across the U.S. In addition, banks are also supporting the economy by employing more than 2.1 million people dedicated to meeting the needs of their customers,” he included.
