New Capital Requirements and Basel Endgame: What Practitioners Need to Know

On September 13, 2023, bank regulator partner Matthew Bisanz will speak at an American Law Institute CLE event on the US Basel Endgame proposal.

US federal banking regulators are working to implement more stringent capital requirements on larger banks, with long-awaited, jointly proposed extensive revisions to guard against credit, market, and operational risk. The sweeping late July proposals – for banks with $100 billion (or more) in assets – are of critical importance, as the amount of capital a bank must maintain with respect to any particular loan, investment, or activity is often the most significant factor in determining whether the relationship is profitable – or even feasible.

With larger banking organizations required to hold more capital, might we see a decline in bank lending and bank trading activities? Will the Basel Endgame really be the end of capital rule changes? In this one-hour webcast, Matt will explore how these proposed changes may affect banks, counterparties in financial transactions, as well as those in the securitization industry.
