WASHINGTON, March 14 (Reuters) - The head of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee said he would request documents and hold a hearing after the collapse of two U.S. banks raised concerns about the banking sector and roiled world markets, according to a media report on Tuesday.
McHenry spoke after briefing Republicans, who control the House of Representatives, about the weekend collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, which continued to weigh on investors on Tuesday.
"They currently have the tools, and they‘ve used them appropriately to resolve two banks," McHenry said.
Biden also vowed new bank rules after regulations enacted after the 2008 financial crisis were rolled back under former Republican President Donald Trump.
The panel's ranking Democrat, Maxine Waters, on Monday urged bipartisan work to ensure the stability of the financial system.
