The U.S. banking system is “sound and resilient” as it maintains strong capital and liquidity conditions, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell told reporters after the policy-making meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).

Powell highlighted that the central bank took decisive actions with the Treasury Department and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the aftermath of the failures of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank.
