Research Quarterly: US Financial Institutions – Financial & Regulatory Data

The U.S. financial system, with over $23 trillion in assets[1], is a large, complex system set up to serve the needs of individuals, corporations, and governments of all sizes. Since the global financial crisis, financial institutions and regulators have worked to shore up the strength and resiliency of the system. Today’s U.S. financial system is more liquid and better capitalized than ever, positioning it to weather future shocks.
