Explanation:
In 2008, as a financial crisis began to unfold in the United States, the FDIC raised the limit on insured losses to bank depositors from $100,000 per account to $250,000 per account.
During the financial crisis, there was a sense of panic. The regulators were concerned that depositors would expect their banks to crash and would fear that they may lose their money. The regulators expect the depositors to pull money back from their banks. The money supply will get reduced further. This will further reduce the money with banks. This could lead to even healthy banks to fail.
Raising the insurance limit would reassure depositors that their money was safe in banks and prevent a bank panic. This will further help to stabilize the financial system.
