Overview

The U.S. federal banking regulators have jointly proposed extensive revisions to the regulatory capital requirements for midsize and larger U.S. banking organizations. The revisions are lengthy and would change the requirements for credit, market, operational, and derivatives counterparty risks. Some of the revisions are long-expected (e.g., re-evaluation of use of internal models for credit and other risks), but others are novel (e.g., standardized capital charge for operational risk) or driven in response to the recent banking crisis. Participants will learn how these changes may affect their bank and investor clients, as well as foreign banks that have a large U.S. presence or do business with U.S. banks.
