Federal Reserve Governor Michael S. Barr warned in a June 2026 speech that recent bank deregulation during a financial boom could weaken the system's resilience against future crises. He highlighted regulatory rollbacks that reduce capital requirements and supervisory rigor, increasing systemic risks amid rising inflation and credit defaults.

His warnings call for caution as the current deregulatory trend could lead to costly financial instability down the line.
