OCC, Board of the Federal Reserve and FDIC Publish Final Rule Implementing Net Stable Funding Ratio

 

On February 24, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) published a final rule in the Federal Register implementing the net stable funding ratio. The rule implements a minimum stable funding requirement for covered institutions, with the intention of reducing the likelihood that disruptions to a covered institution’s regular sources of funding would affect such institution’s liquidity position in a way that could lead to systemic stress. The covered institutions include U.S. depository institution holding companies, depository institutions or U.S. intermediate holding companies of a foreign banking organization with more than $100 billion in total consolidated assets that meet certain asset size and risk factor requirements.
