<p>The recent failure of First Republic Bank, marking the fourth U.S. bank collapse this year, has raised concerns among analysts regarding the potential impact on both the U.S. and global economies. Despite President Joe Biden&#8217;s assurances of a secure banking system, some experts believe this latest failure may signal systemic weaknesses in the country&#8217;s financial sector.</p>

<p>An unnamed investment manager at a Beijing bank<a href="https://www.globaltimes.cn/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> said</a> that First Republic Bank&#8217;s <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/first-republic-bank-nears-collapse/" data-type="post" data-id="277109">collapse</a>, the second-largest bank failure in U.S. history, could lead to more bank failures amid future liquidity crises.</p>



<p>While JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, whose bank took over First Republic, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/01/jamie-dimon-jpmorgan-first-republic.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">claims</a> this part of the crisis has passed, some American analysts, such as Tomasz Piskorski of Columbia Business School, <a href="https://commercialobserver.com/2023/05/jpmorgan-chase-first-republic-bank-takeover-rattles-capital-markets/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">disagree</a>. Piskorski estimates that nearly 200 other banks, many smaller than First Republic, are at risk of failure.</p>

<p>Many analysts attribute the bank failures to the U.S. Federal Reserve&#8217;s hawkish policies, which have led to consistent interest rate increases to achieve a 2% inflation rate since last year. Piskorski explains that the crisis is primarily driven by the Fed&#8217;s interest rate hikes.</p>



<p>Gao Lingyun from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing suggests that the U.S. government may face a dilemma in managing interest rates while also considering the effects on loan values and the risk of default. Gao warns these factors could contribute to a future recession and additional bank failures in other countries.</p>
