Over the past year, hundreds of community banks are not closing down, that is sold to big banks. But the next few years, the United States number more than 7,700 small banks at home, and more will become history, whether intentional or unintentional, it government and regulatory decision-making are those classified as large banks absolutely reliable results.
It sounds sad, but the regulatory authorities, shareholders and even consumers, this may not a big tragedy. Of course, this does not mean we will like to see community banks disappeared. Decision-making level should be thought of course, that speed up the small independent disappearance of the norms of financial institutions, is causing a negative net effect.
In some ways, the recent substantial increase in the number of banks close family - possibly up to 300 this year - only to return to more financial institutions to expand the scale of long-term trend, over the past 10 years, a great period in the economy, this trend The slow down. In the early 1990s, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has 16,074 financial institutions supervision at home .10 years, this figure dropped to 10,222 - an average of one year disappearance of 585 banks.
But in the next 10 years, the rate of decline slowed. To the end of 2007, FDIC oversight bodies Number of about 240 a year on average decrease was mainly due to the merger. The rate of decline accelerated from 2008 onwards, mainly due to bank failures, 157 this year, while only 3 in 2007.
Beneficiaries of this trend is that the largest bank group in the early .1990, the assets of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars of the 59 banks control 31.8% of U.S. financial assets. To this day, over billions of dollars of assets of banks increased by nearly doubled to 109, the proportion of assets held more soar to 78.6%.
This situation will continue. First of all, FDIC's problem list had 860 banks - many are yet to relief funds to pay 600 banks list. Not all questions will be taken over banks, but many banks will eventually is the largest bank in the capital than the rich eating. But even a good physical community banks, the future looks bad.

Permanent public business boost the U.S. economy
Two years after the crisis, Bernanke against Friedman, nearly two years, can its claims policy has not had much success. Bernanke is now the focus of attention shifted to the money supply, and therefore the U.S. economy showing growth.
Recently, the U.S. economic data began to improve. In addition to the level of inflation remained at low levels, consumer confidence, manufacturing sector, services, auto sales, weekly jobless numbers and have improved the performance of the real estate industry. Although the unemployment rate still remained at 10% level, but some of the unemployment is due to the population of the unemployed have tried to re-enter the labor market caused. The U.S. economy is now creating more employment opportunities.
These achievements are positive the Federal Reserve open market operations accelerate the permanent stage. Permanent public service in the past the Fed's policy is different from its main purpose is to expand the money supply, where the number of the money supply is cash, demand deposits and time deposits plus total. Bonds purchased with the previous project, the permanent open market operations is not for the banking system, but to the entire system, "water" liquidity, by increasing the money supply for the demand for goods and services.

AXiM - Phelps: American economic growth will exceed Europe next year
First, the EU faces an uncertain economic recovery, prospects for U.S. growth and high unemployment also is not optimistic. However, the latter half of 2010, U.S. economic growth than Europe. Currently, the U.S. tax cuts next two years has passed, I believe the U.S. will be more advantage.
Second, central banks around the world in 2010 generally over-loose monetary policy adopted in 2011 it will continue to release large amounts of liquidity.
We expect global GDP growth in major developed countries is lower than average, and below the 2010 level. U.S. fiscal stimulus plan to boost U.S. growth, but the euro zone, Japan and the UK level of growth will decline compared with 2010.
Steady growth in emerging market countries. For inflation, emerging market economies will be proper control of policy makers the economic growth. Major emerging market countries will strengthen the management of inflation, but not over-tighten the implementation of the policy.
After inflation, the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank increased interest rates for the first time, it is estimated the first quarter of 2012, the Bank of England raised interest rates for the first time estimated in the third quarter of 2011. Emerging market central banks will carefully slight increase in official interest rates.

Financial innovation filled with progress and setback
May indicate that the financial crisis, financial and even will bring its own risks. One mechanism may be due to the invention of the mortgage. However, no mortgage, whether the situation is better? On this simple question, I think, first of all must see, there are some people benefit from these loans. For individual homeowners, it provides social benefits. Development is the intention of the mortgage market, individual homeowners will be diluted to a wider range of risk and the whole world.
If the calculation of the U.S. market, the scale of bad mortgage loans, you will find it is not a very large number, so if a simple fall with the loss of housing prices, mortgage crisis measure, you will find that it will not cause the world So a big impact. The real problem lies in the system. Banking is fragile, the insurance company AIG is fragile. We did not estimate the fragility of the financial institutions. So, not a problem of financial instruments, institutional structure is the problem.
Now, the market often criticized hedge funds and the role of speculators, as if they are wicked, greedy they simply selfish. But my research shows that they are in the health of the market forces. Hedge funds are always aimed at the lack of efficient capital markets where, in order to obtain a return. Deviations such as stock valuations, they will buy; public access to information and investor information is inconsistent, investors value the company more than the knowledge of the public, they will also take to pay off; investor trading behavior of non-rational , herding lead to market prevailing pessimism, the hedge funds also have the opportunity to make money. In addition, hedge funds can also use the regulatory restrictions make money, and so on.

Commercial Banks financial innovation and supervision
Subprime mortgage crisis, many of 8% capital adequacy ratio to meet the regulatory requirements of the bank failure, the effectiveness of capital regulation questioned, but also further strengthen the international regulatory system for the determination of regulatory capital. The newly adopted "Basel III" is considered for decades the largest area of banking supervision reforms, which from various indicators of capital adequacy ratio and capital regulatory system has been improved and revised, the revised definitions include strengthening capital to improve the capital quality, consistency and transparency, strengthen the capital framework for risk coverage capabilities.
Economic and financial development of the new situation requires commercial banks to increase the intensity of financial innovation, financial innovation is the driving force commercial banks. First of all, the new requirements of capital adequacy ratio of commercial banks to increase the pressure on equity financing. In summing up the lessons of the financial crisis, the "Basel III" greatly improved the capital adequacy requirements: early 2015, worldwide capital adequacy ratio of commercial banks from the current level of 4% to 6%; from ordinary shares constitute the core of a capital adequacy ratio, from the current 2% to 4.5%. On this basis, the commercial banks to achieve security operations, its capital adequacy ratio must reach 12% -13%. This increases the pressure on commercial banks, equity financing.
