Michael Barr, Vice Chair for Supervision at the Federal Reserve, and Martin Gruenberg, Chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), are set to testify before the Senate Banking Committee on Tuesday. Barr's testimony details the mismanagement of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank, which led to their collapse and the FDIC's appointment to manage them. Gruenberg estimates that SVB's failure will require $18 billion to cover uninsured deposits, while Signature Bank's failure will require $2.5 billion.
