03 Sep September 2025 Financial Services Outlook
In RFA’s September 2025 financial services outlook, we preview a busy month centered on the FY26 appropriations process, where a continuing resolution is the most likely outcome ahead of the September 30th deadline, complicated by the Administration’s proposed $4.9 billion foreign aid rescissions package. We cover the FY26 NDAA and potential amendments on deposit insurance and outbound investment, the upcoming reauthorizations of the National Flood Insurance Program and CISA, a possible “skinny” farm bill extension, and a Senate nominations backlog of more than 140 names — including Stephen Miran for the Federal Reserve Board. We also walk through packed committee agendas at Senate Banking and House Financial Services spanning deposit insurance reform, digital asset market structure, proxy advisors, community banking, FinCEN, TRIA, AI, and financial sector oversight, alongside the long-awaited release of the Administration’s RegFlex agenda.
