GFMA, the Institute of International Finance (IIF), and other associations submitted a supplemental comment letter to the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) to emphasize serious concerns with the treatment of equities under the BCBS’s consultative document on the revised Net Stable Funding Ratio (Revised NSFR), and the impact such treatment will have on the market and market participants.
Prior to the supplemental comments, the trade associations submitted a comment letter to the BCBS on April 11 in response to the BCBS’s Revised NSFR. The groups continue to continue to strongly support the comments raised in the prior letter, including the equities-related comments. Therefore, none of the points outlined in the supplemental letter should be construed to supersede or override any of our original requested alternative treatments for equities or non-equities instruments.
