Regulatory developments that affect your bottom line

Description

Abstract: Federal and state regulatory agencies can have a significant impact on a bank’s bottom line, so it’s important to monitor their activities. Doing so can reveal opportunities to boost — or situations that shrink — the bottom line. This article discusses three recent regulatory developments: Regulation R, which defines the extent to which a bank’s securities activities are subject to SEC oversight; state enterprise zones; and whether FDIC premium deductions will be permitted.
