The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank: the fallout

Stanford professor Anat Admati and FT columnists examined the fallout from the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank for both the banking sector and the tech ecosystem. In a lively subscriber-exclusive event with Prof Admati, Rob Armstrong, Elaine Moore, Robin Wigglesworth and John Thornhill debated the questions raised by the collapse, including those put to them by FT readers:

Why were the red flags in SVB’s risk management not spotted? Would other financial institutions suffer collateral damage? Who were the winners from the collapse? Given the moral hazard implied in the protection of depositors, would taxpayers be on the hook once again? What would the niche bank’s demise mean for the tech ecosystem in Silicon Valley and further afield?
