Trump Team Considers Eliminating FDIC in December 2024 Amid Banking Regulation Overhaul, WSJ Reports
Dec 13, 2024, 09:50 AM
Donald Trump's transition team is reportedly considering significant changes to the regulatory landscape for banks, including the potential downsizing or elimination of key banking watchdogs such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

Some analysts express skepticism about the feasibility of completely abolishing the FDIC, suggesting that while major changes may be possible, the complete elimination of such a crucial institution may be overly ambitious.
