About this episode

Bank Nerd Corner welcomes Brian Peters, a veteran of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and insurance giant AIG. 

Brian writes the newsletter Perspectives on Risk, which draws on his experience in bank supervision at the New York Fed and as chief risk officer at AIG. He’s interested in financial stability, bank supervision and how technology, climate and demographics impact the economy. 

Brian and Kiah discuss the different mandates of the various federal banking agencies and the unique spot the New York Fed occupies, the three approaches he’s seen when it comes to bank supervision, credit quality trends at banks and his experience trying to convince a large language model to use public data to predict bank failures. 

And as promised, Brian did publish his newsletter about credit quality that he mentions during the episode, available here: https://substack.com/home/post/p-183560508.
