The market risk rule is an important
component of the Board’s regulatory capital framework (12 C.F.R.
part 217; Regulation Q) that instructs banks to require banking
organizations to measure and hold capital to cover their exposure
to market risk. On July 2, 2013, the Board adopted a revised
regulatory capital framework, including the market risk rule, which
was expanded to include certain savings and loan holding companies.
The market risk rule contains requirements subject to the PRA. The
reporting, recordkeeping, and disclosure requirements are found in
sections 12 C.F.R. 217.203-217.210, and 217.212 (all references to
sections hereinafter are from 12 C.F.R. part 217). These
requirements enhance risk sensitivity and introduce requirements
for public disclosure of certain qualitative and quantitative
information about a financial institution’s market risk.
