Abstract

In March 2023, customers of Silicon Valley Bank in California withdrew their deposits en masse, leading to its bankruptcy in just a few days. The digitalisation of banking services and social media accelerated the bank run by making it easier to withdraw uninsured deposits and amplifying the panic. This is prompting initiatives by regulators to take better account of these new risk factors. En mars 2023, les clients de la banque californienne Silicon Valley Bank ont massivement retiré leurs dépôts, menant en quelques jours à sa faillite. La numérisation des services bancaires et les réseaux sociaux ont été des facteurs d’accélération d’un « run » bancaire en facilitant les retraits des dépôts non assurés et en amplifiant la panique. D’où les initiatives des régulateurs pour mieux prendre en compte ces nouveaux facteurs de risque.
