Newly formed or \"de novo\" banks provide important benefits to banking markets, but they are also considered more financially fragile than established banks and are thus subject to a period of enhanced supervision. Currently, federal banking agencies impose more stringent supervision on de novo banks for at least three years, during which de novos may have more frequent examinations, more intensive surveillance, higher standards for capital levels, and limits on capital distributions. However, whether this three-year period effectively balances risk mitigation with regulatory burden is an open question.

When banks wish to merge, regulatory agencies must review and approve the proposed merger to ensure it will not result in an overly concentrated, anticompetitive market. As part of this approval process, agencies use screening measures based on banks' deposit shares to evaluate potential effects on competition. However, deposit-based measures do not explicitly account for competition from nondepository financial firms such as Farm Credit Associations. Farm Credit Associations have an especially large presence in agricultural loan markets, and screening measures that exclude them may consequently understate market competitiveness.

Small and new businesses, widely credited as engines for job growth, have struggled during the recovery. One reason, say some analysts, is that bank lending to small businesses has declined steadily since the start of the recession. Understanding the factors that affect loan supply may help policymakers design policies to increase the supply of small business loans and, therefore, support further job growth. This article analyzes the potential effectiveness of two strategies that policymakers can use to expand the supply of small business loans: increasing bank capital and reducing problem assets. The results show that both strategies have a statistically significant effect on the supply of small business loans and thus are potentially useful policy tools for expanding the supply of small business loans. However, the economic effect of the two policies is different. Policies that provide additional capital to community banks are likely to generate only a small amount of new business lending.

Many of the origins of the recent financial crisis were in the United States, beginning with subprime mortgages and mortgage securities. As the crisis spread globally, few market participants or regulatory authorities saw it coming and all underestimated its severity.
