Will the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank cause an economic meltdown?

Published

Silicon Valley Bank customers will have access to their deposits starting on Monday, U.S. officials said on Sunday.

“Depositors will have access to all of their money starting Monday, March 13,” the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp said in a statement. “No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayer,” the statement said.

Canadian fallout

A Canadian banking regulator on Sunday said it was taking temporary control of Silicon Valley Bank’s (SIVB.O) unit in the country, as the fallout from the collapsed U.S. startup-focused lender reverberated around the world.

The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) said it is seeking to gain permanent control of the Canadian branch’s assets, adding that it is asking the attorney general of Canada to petition for a winding-up order of operations.

“By taking temporary control of the Canadian branch of Silicon Valley Bank, we are acting to protect the rights and interests of the branch’s creditors,” Peter Routledge, the superintendent of financial institutions, said in a statement.

OFSI said the U.S.-headquartered bank has operated in Canada since 2019 as a foreign bank branch based in Toronto. Its business in Canada is primarily lending to corporate clients, and the branch does not hold any commercial or individual deposits in Canada.
