• Basel Committee on Banking Supervision Allows Flexibility on NSFR Treatment of Derivative Liabilities

  10/06/2017
  The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has announced that it has agreed to allow jurisdictions discretion to lower the Net Stable Funding Ratio's treatment for derivatives liabilities. The discretion will allow jurisdictions to lower the required 20% stable funding factor for derivatives liabilities to a floor of 5%. The NSFR measures the assumed degree of stability of liabilities and the liquidity of assets over a one-year horizon. Implementation of the NSFR is expected to begin on January 1, 2018 and this agreement is intended to facilitate implementation. The Committee is considering whether any further revisions to the treatment of derivative liabilities are warranted and will carry out a public consultation on any further proposed changes.
