U.S. bank regulators unveil proposal to hike bank capital
  + stars: | 2023-07-27 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: 1 min
WASHINGTON, July 27 (Reuters) - U.S. bank regulators released a proposal Thursday that would direct the nation's largest banks to raise their capital, arguing a larger cushion is needed to ensure stability. The proposal, if implemented, would raise capital an aggregate 16% for larger banks, and also apply several stricter rules to banks with over $100 billion in assets. The sweeping plan would overhaul how banks gauge risk in numerous areas, and in turn how much capital they must hold in reserve.

NEW YORK, July 27 (Reuters) - Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan said U.S. authorities need to be careful when implementing new capital requirements of the Basel III accord to avoid reducing the ability of U.S. banks to compete globally. ... We're talking about a $30 or $40 billion bank, or a $100 billion bank, not being able to compete for a middle market loan because a bank or a supplier in Europe ... is getting a lower cost of capital", Moynihan added. U.S. banking regulators are expected to unveil on Thursday a sweeping proposal for stricter bank capital requirements. While the precise details aren't yet known, regulators have said the rules will apply to banks with $100 billion in assets or more. Bank of America expects a "slight" recession in the first part of next year and predicts the first interest rate cut will happen by mid-2024.

REUTERS/Lucas Jackson/File PhotoNEW YORK, July 25 (Reuters) - U.S. banking giants may take up to four years to set aside profits to meet new capital rules, according to a report by Morgan Stanley. U.S. banking regulators will on Thursday unveil a sweeping proposal for stricter bank capital requirements known as the "Basel III endgame" aimed at ensuring the stability of big banks under international rules rolled out after the 2008 financial crisis. Holding more RWA will require banks to set aside more capital under the new standards. Most of the need to raise capital would come from assessments of the bank's operational risks and their trading books.

The proposal, which will kick off an ambitious agenda for Barr, plans to fully implement the globally agreed Basel bank capital agreement. BANKING OPPOSITIONThe banking industry is not waiting for details before trying to disrupt the effort, arguing it could hinder economic activity, curb lending, and kill lines of business. The criticism is also emerging among some Republican bank regulators, who appear likely to oppose the plans. Regulators will have to digest numerous and voluminous comments from the banking industry dissecting their plans. And in the meantime, banks are expected to continue hammering that higher capital requirements means a smaller economic role for banks and are not needed.

Investors, worried about the economic atmosphere and the recent regional banking collapse, breathed a sigh of relief at the results. Jamie Dimon, head of JPMorgan Chase, commented on the bank’s Friday earnings call that non-bank financial rivals were “dancing in the streets” as regulators get ready to increase bank capital requirements. “This is great news for hedge funds, private equity, private credit, Apollo, Blackstone,” Dimon said of the proposed regulations. The change, they say, will increase the financial system’s resilience following the failures of three regional banks earlier this year. “The capital in the industry is sufficient,” said Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan on his company’s earnings call Tuesday morning.

In recent years, many companies have adopted a "China Plus One" strategy to build new manufacturing units outside the People's Republic. India has a window of three-to-five years to seize this opportunity to attract investment, said Ajay Banga, the former Mastercard CEO who became World Bank chief last month. "I think India's opportunity currently is to cash in on the 'China plus one' opportunity. The World Bank chief also called for private capital investments to aid global efforts for renewable energy funding. We will also need different forms of multilateral bank capital and government capital and philanthropy capital to take first risk positions or help enable the blended finance to come through," Banga said.

The banking industry called the effort misguided and economically harmful. ‘HOLISTIC REVIEW’Barr’s speech served as a comprehensive update on a “holistic” review of bank capital rules that he launched shortly after joining the U.S. central bank in 2022. He said he will seek to apply stricter capital rules to banks with more than $100 billion in assets, expanding the pool of firms that must comply. Dashing industry hopes for any rules relief, Barr also said he did not plan to weaken an existing surcharge on large global banks or leverage rules which the industry argued hampered Treasury market functions. The Fed has itself come under criticism for its oversight of banks involved in this year’s banking crisis.

Banks with at least $100 billion in assets would be subject to similar regulation that banks with $700 billion in assets currently face, under Barr’s proposal. These regulations would force banks to hold an additional two percentage points of capital, or an additional $2 of capital for every $100 of risk-weighted assets, Barr said. “Our recent experience shows that even banks [with at least $100 billion in assets] can cause stress that spreads to other institutions and threatens financial stability,” Barr in remarks at the Bipartisan Policy Center. Requiring banks to hold more capital could help mitigate risks that arise when banks are under stress. Barr on Fed’s fight against inflationIn addition to discussing bank regulation, Barr also spoke about the Fed’s plans to get inflation down.

Federal Reserve Board Vice Chair for Supervision Michael Barr testifies before a House Financial Services Committee hearing on the response to the recent bank failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, on Capitol Hill in Washington, March 29, 2023. The Federal Reserve's top regulatory official laid out a sweeping plan to increase capital requirements for the nation's largest banks, saying recent bank failures underlined the need for regulators to bolster resilience in the system. Barr said he did not plan to overhaul the U.S. bank capital framework, but instead build on it in several ways, including by fully implementing an international bank capital agreement and expanding annual "stress tests" of bank health. Barr also said the Federal Reserve is close to reaching the appropriate level of interest rates to bring inflation back to the central bank's 2% target but added: "We still have a bit of work to do." Barr's remark came in response to a question on how much further the Fed's policy rate may need to rise to contain inflation.

EU agrees deal on final leg of Basel bank capital rules
  + stars: | 2023-06-27 | by ( Huw Jones | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
LONDON, June 27 (Reuters) - The European Union on Tuesday reached a deal to implement the final batch of tougher bank capital rules agreed internationally following the global financial crisis over a decade ago, with additions to contain risks from the crypto sector. The remaining leg of the 'Basel III' global accord, agreed among G20 and other nations, includes safeguards such as limits on big banks using their own internal models to calculate capital buffers. The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and other lenders in the United States, whose fallout rippled through Europe, and the forced takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS has thrown a spotlight on bank capital and liquidity. The deal between EU states and the European Parliament phases in some elements in the Basel III accord from 2025, two years after the deadline agreed globally. The EU is the first major jurisdiction to reach a deal on the remaining Basel III rules, ahead of Britain and the United States.

Bank regulators led by the U.S. Federal Reserve are finalizing the proposal which would implement international capital standards agreed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in the aftermath of the 2007-2009 financial crisis. On Wednesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell told Congress it was critical banks have strong capital, but regulators must be mindful of the tradeoffs. Republican officials at the agencies have flagged similar concerns, two people said, while Republican lawmakers on Wednesday also raised worries over capital rules with Powell. The Fed is drafting the Basel rules with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC). Speaking to reporters last week, acting Comptroller Michael Hsu said banks had "not been shy about sharing their concerns" which regulators were taking into account.

The World Bank Group made total lending commitments of $104 billion last year. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told Banga as he took office on June 2 that she wanted him to "get the most" from the World Bank's balance sheet. But Banga said he viewed the idea as largely unviable, because long-term project loans against liquid central bank assets could create a dangerous asset-liability maturity mismatch. Using "callable capital" -- funds pledged but not paid-in by rich countries that can be called on to back World Bank losses -- is another option, advocated in a G20 report on multilateral development bank capital adequacy. He said he hoped to be able to provide details on what the bank could do in this regard by the time of its annual meeting in October.

The Fed's battle against inflation could have economic consequences well beyond US borders, according to a new World Bank report. Markets believe it is likely the Fed will pause interest rate hikes at its policy meeting next week. The central bank has raised interest rates 10 times in a little over a year, though inflation still remains above the 2% target. Hawkish tightening by the Fed can spillover to EMDEs, which could lead to higher domestic interest rates and currency depreciation exacerbating inflation. These findings come amid the World Bank's projection that the global economy is in a "precarious state" as rising interest rates decelerate consumer spending and business investment.

Most big bank stocks were trading lower in afternoon trading with the S&P 500 banking index (.SPXBK) down nearly 1% on Monday. U.S. regulators, led by the Federal Reserve, are also expected to propose this month increasing average bank capital requirements by as much as 20% a person familiar with the matter told Reuters. Regional bank stocks also logged broad declines on Monday, with the KBW Regional Banking Index (.KRX) shedding 2%. The impending international capital rules come amid a broader Fed review of lenders' capital requirements. "It's not shocking that you should expect to see some capital requirements being increased and a little more oversight is expected given what has happened with regional banks," Janasiewicz said.

The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that financial industry regulators could announce a proposal, as early as this month, seeking to increase the rainy-day funds of big banks. Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo, while never a worry during the recent mini-banking crisis, have both seen their stocks decline in the wake of the SVB collapse and struggle to regain their footing. Should Morgan Stanley really be penalized more than others just because it offers fee-based wealth management solutions, which through strong execution have grown? However, we're inclined to consider a capital requirement change opportunistically, especially as it relates to Morgan Stanley.

European banking stocks plunged after the collapse of Silicon Valley (SVB) bank in the U.S. in March, creating turmoil that lead to the forced takeover of ailing Credit Suisse by UBS in Switzerland. Knot, who also heads the Dutch central bank, said the FSB has begun evaluating lessons from how the U.S. and Swiss authorities had responded to these events. "Why did FINMA, the Swiss supervisor, use a market and not a resolution solution to enable this sale? After all, we have come a long way in improving crisis preparedness in the banking sector," Knot told an event held by the European Banking Federation. Social media is also having an impact on the financial sector with one tweet able to cause a bank run to create liquidity problems, Knot said.

"I believe it was a series of unprecedented events that all came together in the fastest bank run in history," Becker told the Senate Banking Committee. "I was the CEO of Silicon Valley Bank, I take responsibility for what ultimately happened," Becker said. Executives from Signature Bank also testified alongside Becker on Tuesday, pushing back on assertions from lawmakers that the bank had weak corporate governance. "I don't believe that there was mismanagement at the bank," said Eric Howell, the former president of Signature Bank. The bank tried to cover the loss by raising capital, but in announcing the transaction helped fuel a bank run.
[1/2] Japan's Finance Minister Shunichi Suzuki, Germany's Finance Minister Christian Lindner, Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt, Joachim Nagel, President of Germany's federal reserve... Read moreNIIGATA, Japan, May 13 (Reuters) - Finance ministers and central banks from the Group of Seven rich nations agreed the global financial system is resilient but the need for vigilance remains, Japan's finance minister Shunichi Suzuki said on Saturday. "We reaffirm that our financial system is resilient, supported by the financial regulatory reforms implemented after the 2008 global financial crisis, including considerable increases in the levels of bank capital and liquidity, an international framework for effectively resolving failing institutions, and strengthened cross-border regulatory and supervisory cooperation," it said. British finance minister Jeremy Hunt told reporters at a separate event that G7 finance chiefs in Japan had "very frank and open discussions" about the challenges they face, including banking regulation. The ministers have wrapped up a three-day meeting in the Japanese city of Niigata.

And the list of regional banks with sky-high dividends goes on and on. But Goldman Sachs is out Monday with a note from analysts led by Ryan Nash saying that although regional banks as a group yield 6.5% — the most since the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-2009 — not to worry. Examining bank dividends and bank capital "suggests companies should be able to maintain their current payout: Dividend payouts totaled ~40% of EPS in 1Q23 and are expected to remain around those levels for the remainder of 2023 (~39%) and 2024 (~41%) by consensus," Goldman said. KEY (~53%) and TFC (46%) screen as having the highest payouts," as a percentage of earnings in 2023, the investment bank said. Capital One (~24), M & T Bank (~29%) and Zions Bancorp (30%) have among the lowest payout ratios.
Banking system pressures, real estate stress and persistent inflation top worries about financial stability, though the system overall remains stable, the Federal Reserve said in a report Monday. The Fed last published its Financial Stability Report in November 2022, before the implosion about two months ago of several prominent mid-sized banks, including Silicon Valley Bank, an important funding source for technology companies. However, the stability report noted that bank capital ratios are around what would be considered normal while leverage was mostly lower. "Actions taken by the official sector reassured depositors, and the broad banking system remained sound and resilient. For the banking system as a whole, aggregate bank capital levels were ample," the report said.
The assertion in the introduction that the Fed should focus on large bank capital requirements is disconnected from the report's conclusions. AMERICAN BANK ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT AND CEO ROB NICOLS"We take any bank failure seriously, and we will review the findings and proposed policy changes in these reports carefully, including where the conclusions may differ. JONATHAN MONDILLO, HEAD OF NORTH AMERICAN FIXED INCOME AT ABRDN"We're likely to see higher capital requirements. What that means for the overall markets is that the devil is in the details: how stringent those capital requirements will be. A potential First Republic Bank failure could similarly present a risk to the long-term investment strategy of high net-worth individuals."
