WASHINGTON, March 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Congress
should enact financial regulations to strengthen stress tests
and capital and liquidity standards for banks, Senate Banking
Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown said on Tuesday, but he added
prospects remained low for such a step.
Brown, an Ohio Democrat, told Bloomberg TV that prospects
were low for the Congress to stiffen financial regulations after
the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank .
Brown added that he hoped the Federal Reserve would not
raise rates when it meets March 21 and 22.
