Lessons Learned from the Crisis

  • Firms had a high reliance on short‐term wholesale funding
  • Firms did not fully capture all the liquidity risks in their portfolio

and size them appropriately

  • Firms relied on contingency funding sources to meet liquidity
  • utflows and did not have robust on‐balance sheet liquidity

buffers

  • Firms overall contingency funding plans were not well articulated
  • Senior management and the board of directors were not well‐

informed of overall liquidity risk

Supervisory Response

  • More differentiation, based on size and systemic footprint (and a

focus on SIFIs)

  • More horizontal coordinated views and reviews
  • Expansion of purview beyond banks
  • Increased International Coordination
  • Introduction of standardized minimum quantitative liquidity

requirements (for the first time)

Quantitative Liquidity Standards

  • BCBS approved two liquidity rules for global banks in December 2010:
  • Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) – 30‐day horizon (effective 2015‐2019)

 Requires firms to have a stock of high‐quality liquid assets that

exceeds standardized net cash outflows over a 30‐day stress period.

  • Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) – one‐year horizon (effective in

2018)

 NSFR is a longer term structural metric designed to ensure banks’

funding structures are appropriate relative to their asset and off‐ balance sheet profile.

Scope of Application: U.S. LCR

  • US LCR rule
  • Applies to internationally active banking organizations, and non‐bank financial

companies designated by the FSOC that do not have substantial insurance

  • perations.
  • Generally includes BHCs and SLHCs with at least $250 billion in consolidated assets
  • r $10 billion in foreign exposures, and their largest bank subsidiaries (>$10 billion

in assets).

  • Less‐rigorous LCR (“Modified LCR”)
  • Applies to non‐internationally active BHCs and SLHCs (but not banks) that are

subject to DFA 165.

  • Generally includes BHCs and SLHCs with at least $50 billion but less than $250 billion

in consolidated assets.

  • Separately considering how best to tailor the liquidity requirements for

companies not covered by this proposal (e.g. those with substantial insurance

  • perations, and the IHCs of FBOs)

Rationale for Modified LCR

  • BHCs subject to Modified LCR are sufficiently large/ complex to

be subject to a quantitative liquidity requirement promoting their liquidity resilience and allowing market participants and supervisors to better compare firms liquidity position

  • BHCs subject to Modified LCR face a less‐stringent liquidity

requirement because:

  • Tend to be less complex due to smaller asset size and lower level of foreign

activity

  • Activities are less systemic in nature than internationally active firms
  • Consistent with gradation requirement in DFA 165, and help mollify the

“cliff” affect

Differences of Proposed Modified and Required LCR

Required LCR

  • Applied to internationally active

banking organizations, and non‐ bank financial companies designated by the FSOC that do not have substantial insurance

  • perations.
  • Contractual outflows and inflows

recognized in the first 30 days

  • Full non‐maturity outflow rates

apply

  • Net outflows and inflows

calculated on the peak maximum cumulative outflow date within the 30 day period. Modified LCR

  • Applied only to the consolidated

BHC and not to the bank subsidiaries

  • non‐maturity outflow rates

subject to a multiplier of 70%

  • Net outflows and inflows would

be calculated only at the end of the 30 day period and not on the peak maximum cumulative

  • utflow date within the 30 day

period

How U.S. LCR fits into Regulatory Framework

Establishes a stress scenario

  • Assigns specific

 Haircuts to assets  Runoff rates to liabilities  Draw rates to commitments

  • Calculates surplus/deficit

So far so good, but . . . .

  • One scenario, one time frame, cannot reveal all liquidity vulnerabilities

specific to a firm

  • Assumptions are standard, not tailored to the products and markets in which

each institution is operating Not designed to be a risk management program

  • Regulatory compliance is necessary, but not sufficient
  • Can provide a useful framework from which to build/improve liquidity stress‐

testing exercise

Interagency Policy Statement on Funding and Liquidity Risk Management (SR 10‐6)

  • Corporate Governance – board of directors and senior management
  • Strategies, policies, procedures and risk tolerances
  • Liquidity risk measurement and reporting
  • Intraday liquidity position management
  • Diversified funding
  • Cushion of liquid assets
  • Contingency funding plans
  • Internal controls

DFA 165: Enhanced Liquidity Requirements

  • Section 165 of the DFA directed the FRB to establish stricter prudential

standards for all BHCs with $50 billion or more in total assets and nonbank SIFIs, and that the stricter standards must include liquidity requirements.

  • The rule includes:
  • Governance requirements that specify board, risk committee, and senior

management responsibilities, in addition to independent evaluation requirements.

  • Requires firms to conduct regular stress testing, conduct cash flow

analysis, and set certain liquidity risk limits.

  • Requires covered companies to maintain a buffer of highly liquid assets

against internal 30 day (bank‐derived, supervisor‐reviewed) liquidity stress tests.

  • Requirements for foreign companies to maintain asset buffers in the U.S.

Internal Stress Test and LCR, complementary tools

  • Limitations of one‐size‐fits‐all regulatory construct
  • Reg YY provides expectations and framework for conducting liquidity

stress testing (scenario type, time buckets, etc)

  • Buffer‐sizing requirement based upon meeting outflow estimates under 30

day internal stress test

 Some stipulations on buffer qualification  Watching that does not create disincentive to run sufficiently stressful scenarios

  • Defaulting to LCR scenario, asset/liability categorization, and

assumptions (haircuts/runoffs) for internal stress tests is not sufficient
