WASHINGTON, ​May ​22 (Reuters) - A pair of U.S. banking regulators ‌have signed off on plans ⁠submitted by the nation's ‌largest banks detailing how ‌they could be safely unwound in bankruptcy.

The Federal ​Reserve and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation did not ⁠identify any shortcomings in the so-called "living ​wills" of the nation's 8 largest banks and 56 ​foreign banking organizations. ‌The regulators also announced Friday that ⁠shortcomings identified in prior plans submitted by Bank of ⁠America, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase and ​Citigroup had been sufficiently addressed. The agencies dinged those banks in ‌2024, saying their plans did not adequately ‌show how they ⁠could safely unwind ‌their derivatives ​portfolios.
