A report released recently by the Federal Reserve Board provided evidence that the gap between the richest American families and all others is getting wider. The Survey of Consumer Finances, conducted by the Federal Reserve Board every three years, reported last week that the wealth share held by the top 3 percent totaled 54.4 percent in 2013, a number that has climbed from 51.8 percent in 2007 (before the recession) and from 44.8 percent in 1989.

Three federal agencies – the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) finalized a rule with regards to the "liquidity coverage ratio" (LCR) of large financial institutions, the Federal Reserve announced on September 3.

Financial institutions received additional guidance from the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) on Friday regarding resolution plans which the institutions will be filing in December for the second time.
