Dynamics and structure of main indicators of the American banking system

Abstract

The driving force of any country with market economy is the banking sector, which, as banking crises have shown, is not perfect and therefore needs more detailed study. This article from the series «Analysis of main indicators of the Anglo-Saxon banking system» is devoted to the study of the dynamics of main indicators of the American banking system for the period from 2000 to 2019 inclusive. Over the last decade, the number of commercial banks has decreased, including the United States (USA) ones. Based on data from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) with the separation of main studied indicators of the banking system and their detailed analysis, it was found that the financial crisis of 2008—2009 negatively affected the assets and liabilities of commercial banks, the dynamics of their net profit and increased the amount of outstanding loans. It is substantiated that despite the increase in private sector loans in the US, the latter do not show a high debt burden.
