[Federal Reserve's Barr Concerned That Easing Regulations Could Lead to Risk Accumulation] Golden Finance reports that Federal Reserve Governor Barr has warned that weakening the Fed's regulatory efforts could lead to the accumulation of 'real risks' within the banking system, which, if left unchecked over time, could lay the groundwork for a crisis. Barr stated that regulatory work relies on a reliable rating framework, forward-looking regulatory measures, and highly skilled personnel. He further noted that actions such as 'reducing the scope of examiner coverage, weakening the rating system, and redefining the longstanding "unsafe and unsound" business standards in the banking industry' would make it difficult for examiners to act before it is too late.
