The FDIC will now adjust bank size thresholds for inflation

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation wants to automatically adjust its rules for inflation. This means banks will not suddenly fall under new regulations just because inflation made them look bigger on paper.

Banks have to follow different rules depending on their size and complexity. When inflation makes everything more expensive, a bank's assets can grow in dollar terms even if its real-world operations do not. This change means banks will not accidentally trigger stricter rules just because of rising prices.
