The Southeast Bank of Texas in the Financial Crisis
By: Robert C. Pozen and Benjamin Greff Schneider
Abstract
The Southeast Bank of Texas, like most other financial institutions in the U.S., has fallen on hard times during the financial crisis of the past year. Now, in March 2009, the bank is faced with several choices as a result of the new reforms spawned from the financial crisis: the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program and the U.S. Treasury's Capital Purchase Program. Additionally, the implementation of BASEL II has left new regulations in place for capital requirements for banks. Irwin Greff, President and CEO of the Southeast Bank, faces several decisions on how to proceed with these new policies that will surely shape the future of the bank.
