​FDIC Halts Key Bank Disclosure, Sparking Fears of Hidden Risks in the Banking System

The FDIC announced it will no longer disclose the total assets of banks on its quarterly Problem Bank List, a move that breaks with over three decades of transparency. Until now, this data helped signal when larger banks were in trouble, as spikes in total assets hinted at major institutions being added to the list.
