US Federal Reserve Board Proposes Rule Requiring Large Banking Organizations to Publicly Disclose Several Measures of their Liquidity Profile

The US Federal Reserve Board issued a proposed rule that would require large banking organizations to publicly disclose certain measures of their liquidity profile, including, for the first time, quantitative liquidity risk metrics. The proposed rule would require large banking organizations to disclose, on a quarterly basis, their consolidated Liquidity Coverage Ratios based on averages over the prior quarter. In addition, firms would have to disclose their consolidated High-Quality Liquid Asset amounts, organized by HQLA category, as well as their projected net cash outflow amounts, including retail inflows and outflows, derivatives inflows and outflows as well as various other measures. The required disclosures are based generally on a template approved by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision with enhancements to reflect US implementation of LCR requirements.
