The percentage of banks in the United States that did not make any profit was significantly lower in 2022 than in the financial crisis of 2008. In 2009, 29.52 percent of all FDIC-insured commercial banks and savings institutions were unprofitable, which was the highest percentage in the observed period. The share of unprofitable institutions increased again in 2020 and in 2022, but remained well below the share in 2009.
