Basel Said to Agree on Draft Changes to Bank Liquidity Rule

By Jim Brunsden and Ben Moshinsky - Jun 29, 2012 7:27 AM PT

Global banking regulators have tentatively agreed to change the way they calculate whether banks are holding enough liquid assets following concerns the planned rules were too severe, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision discussed the standard, known as a liquidity coverage ratio, or LCR, at a meeting last week in Stockholm, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the talks are private. Regulators changed assumptions about what may happen to banks in another credit crisis, the people said. A U.K. regulator separately today said its banks may have more room to dip into liquidity buffers because of Bank of England funding.

Difficulty is lack of future thinkers. Laws come to be after fact has surfaced.
Now comes the question of how much of a safety net is required? Well looks like it is going to be just too much and compliance is not yet mandatory as the law has yet to take effect
