Posted on

 

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.

On May 7, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) published its sixteenth progress report on BCBS members’ implementation of Basel III. The report can be found here.

The report, which looks at implementation as of the end of March 2019, focuses on the status of adoption of the Basel III standards to ensure they are transformed into national law or regulation in accordance with agreed timeframes. The Basel III standards reviewed include: risk-based capital standards, the leverage ratio, the standards for global and domestic systemically important banks and interest rate risk in the banking book, the net stable funding ratio (NSFR), the large exposures framework and the disclosure requirements.

The report states that since BCBS’s previous report, published in October 2018, member jurisdictions have made progress in implementing standards for which deadlines have already passed, including those relating to the revised securitization framework. However, progress has been limited in the implementation of other standards which have yet to be finalized and put into effect in a number of jurisdictions, including the NSFR, which took effect on January 1, 2018, but only 11 jurisdictions have final rules in place.
