  The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's board of directors has approved a proposal to roll back a Biden-era policy that ramped up the scrutiny of large bank mergers, the agency said in a statement on Monday.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has decided to roll back its stringent bank merger policy, as announced on March 3, 2025. This decision comes after a period of intense scrutiny and regulatory tightening following several high-profile bank failures. The FDIC's board voted to revert to a more lenient approach, aiming to facilitate easier mergers and acquisitions within the banking sector. This policy shift is expected to encourage consolidation, potentially leading to stronger, more resilient financial institutions. Critics argue that this could reduce competition and increase systemic risk, while proponents believe it will enhance the stability and efficiency of the banking system. The rollback includes adjustments to the criteria for merger approvals, focusing less on the potential for reduced competition and more on the financial health and operational capabilities of the merging entities.
