NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — The
government insurance fund designed to protect consumer bank deposits
will likely stay in the red through 2012, Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. chief Sheila Bair said Wednesday.
Testifying before members of the
Senate Banking Committee, the nation’s top commercial bank regulator
stressed that her agency was taking immediate steps to replenish the
dwindling fund. But she said those efforts would not put the rescue
fund in the black until a little more than two years from now at the
earliest.
The fund has come under severe
strain in recent months amid the recent surge in bank failures.
Ninety-eight banks have failed so far this year, which has reduced the
fund’s value to $10 billion from $45 billion a year ago.
