(Reuters) -The Federal Reserve will publish its internal review of its supervision of Silicon Valley Bank on Friday, April 28 at 11 a.m. ET (1500 GMT), the central bank said Tuesday.

The review, which is being led by Fed Vice Chairman for Supervision Michael Barr, follows the regional bank's abrupt failure last month. It will include policy recommendations and confidential supervisory information that the Fed typically does not disclose to the public, Barr has said. 

Depositors tried to pull more than $42 billion in a single day at SVB in early March, surprising regulators and kicking off deposit flight across other regional banks. The failures of SVB, and days later, Signature Bank (OTC:SBNY), set off a broader loss of investor confidence in the banking sector that pummeled stocks and stoked fears of a full-blown financial crisis.
