Fed approves capital plans of Goldman and JPMorgan –
The US Federal Reserve said it approved new capital plans by
Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase, after initially ordering the
banks to fix flaws in their capital planning processes. The plans
are part of the stress-testing regime meant to determine how the
biggest US banks would fare in a financial meltdown. Earlier, the
Fed said Goldman and JPMorgan could move forward with
plans to buy back shares and pay dividends. But regulators said
the stress tests, or comprehensive capital analysis and review
(CCAR), showed both banks had flawed processes for
determining capital payouts to shareholders. Regulators told the
two banks to fix the problems and submit new plans by the end
of the third quarter. (Reuters)
