US regulators have warned of an 18% jump in problem banks, with New York Community Bank stabilized by a $1bn capital raise. Delinquencies in credit card and commercial real estate loans are at their highest level in almost a decade. The FDIC attributes the rise to ongoing economic and geopolitical uncertainty, inflationary pressures, and emerging risks in some bank commercial real estate portfolios. NYCB's recent struggles highlight the fragility of some US lenders, with a focus on diversification and new leadership to navigate the current crisis. The FDIC does not name the individual banks on the problem bank list, but the banks on the list were identified as either small or mid-sized lenders.
