The Federal Reserve, the OCC, and the
FDIC (collectively, the agencies) would implement through
Regulation WW a liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) requirement,
consistent with the international liquidity standards published by
the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), for large and
internationally active banking organizations. Each institution
would be required to hold high quality, liquid assets (HQLA) such
as central bank reserves and government and corporate debt that can
be converted easily and quickly into cash in an amount equal to or
greater than its projected cash outflows minus its projected cash
inflows during a 30-day stress period. The ratio of the firm's
liquid assets to its projected net cash outflow is its LCR. The
BCBS published the international liquidity standards in December
2010 as a part of the Basel III reform package and revised the
standards in January 2013 (as revised, the Basel III Revised
Liquidity Framework). The LCR will apply to all banking
organizations with $250 billion or more in total consolidated
assets or $10 billion or more in on-balance sheet foreign exposure
and to these banking organizations' subsidiary depository
institutions that have assets of $10 billion or more. The final
rule also would apply a less stringent, modified LCR to bank
holding companies and savings and loan holding companies that do
not meet these thresholds, but have $50 billion or more in total
assets. Bank holding companies and savings and loan holding
companies with substantial insurance or commercial operations are
not covered by the final rule.
