Fed Governor Gramley Says:

Small Banks Will Remain Viable

P

R EPA R ED testimony delivered
by Federal Reserve Governor
Lyle E . Gramley on July 8 before the
subcommittee on monopolies and
commercial law of the House
Committee on the Judiciary gives
strong credence to the belief that
small banks will survive the current
changes taking place, despite dire
predictions to the contrary from other
sources.
Governor
Gramley said “The
record of the past two decades and
longer . . . attests to the basic
strength of our nation’s depository
institutions and their capacity to
adapt to a changing environment.”
In his testimony he also said:
“ Further indication of the ability of
commercial banks to compete can be
found in the history of their earnings.
Rates of return on assets and equity
capital for the banking industry are
presented in the accompanying table.
For the industry as a whole,
profitability has risen over the past
thirty years. Evidently, the commer­
cial banking system has coped quite
successfully with innovation and
change.
“ The earnings experience of all
banks or thrifts, however, need not
reflect the problems of smaller
institutions. Data for these smaller
institutions is more difficult to
obtain. This table, however, shows

earnings of small banks over the past
decade. Earnings were higher for the
small banks in the second half of the
decade than in the first, and higher,
also, than for large banks. Indeed,
even ratios of earnings to capital for
small banks exceed those for large
banks, despite the fact that ratios of
capital to assets of small banks are
roughly double those of larger banks.
“There is other evidence suppor­
ting the view that small banks can
survive in the current environment.
For 1980, a detailed sample of small
banks shows that, in 156 of 265
Standard Metropolitan Statistical
Areas, the smallest size category of
banks in each area earned a higher
average return on assets than the
largest size group in each area. Thus

even in these large and highly
competitive urban markets, small
banks have been competing effective­
lyHow is it possible for a small bank,
with (say) less than $100 million of
assets, to hold its own against
multi-billion dollar banks? P art of the
answer is that there are relatively few
economies of large scale operations in
commercial banking. That conclusion
has emerged from a number of careful
empirical studies.
“ In addition, small banks offer
many of the unique services of the
specialty shop. A customer may be
able to talk directly to the senior bank
officers, rather than to a branch
manager who has limited decision
making power. Moreover, if a
customer requires a specialized bank
service that cannot be supplied by the
small bank directly, arrangements
can often be made to provide it

through one of the small bank’s
correspondents.
“ I would hazard the guess that
there will continue to be a substantial
demand for the specialized services
that small banks provide.”
Referring to the recent mergers of
non-financial institutions into con­
glomerates that sell Money Market
Funds and other financial products,
Mr. Gramley stated:
“The success of recent financial
conglomerates has yet to be proven.
Can a salesperson in a brokerage
office be as knowledgeable about
money market funds, life insurance
and real estate as he is about stocks
and bonds? That is not clear. The
specialist in each of these areas may
have an advantage in information
and experience. In addition, the
commission system may orient the
salesperson towards his major
product, rather than other less
remunerative lines.
“ One important question is how to
achieve an equitable environment for
competition
among
commercial
banks, thrift institutions, and other
producers of financial services. The

Board believes that legislation would
be desirable authorizing the Federal
Reserve to impose reserve require­
ments on those money market fund
shares that serve as the functional
equivalent of transaction balances,
and to enforce a cleaner distinction
between transaction balances and
other liquid savings. In addition, we
believe, the Federal Reserve should
have the authority to
define
transactions accounts for purposes of
reserve requirements so as to include
the many new types of plans with
transactions capability that may
develop.”
