New York state regulators close Signature bank.

All of the depositors of Signature Bank and Silicon Valley Bank will be made whole, and "no losses will be borne by the taxpayer," the US Treasury Department and other bank regulators said in a joint statement.
Silicon Valley Bank was the nation's 16th largest lender before the shutdown, and its collapse has had a profound impact on the tech industry, as it was a major financier of tech startups.
The startup-focused bank had $209 billion in total assets and about $175.4 billion in total deposits, as of December 2022.

I was honoured to give the keynote address at UAE Innovates, where I asked the question: Just how did we achieve this?

Through our investment in innovation, we have been able to evolve our transport infrastructure, and Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) represents the pinnacle of our success so far. We have successfully digitised its terminal operating system, while also expanding and increasing multi-modality to further cut emissions.

As we look to the future we will continue to innovate, we will continue to make things possible that most of us don't even know can happen yet. There are challenges to this, we must remember to make our creations sustainable, and resources are limited. But I believe with the right commitment we can all become innovation champions.
