May 15, Fineko/abc.az. The U.S authorities plan to relax the rules for calculating supplementary leverage ratio (SLR), which has been in force since 2014, ABC.AZ reports with reference to The Financial Times.

The changes could lower capital requirements for the largest banks and become the most ambitious deregulation step in the last 10 years.

SLR obliges banks to hold capital in relation to all assets, including Treasury bonds and derivatives. Representatives of banks claim that the rule restricts their participation in the $29 trillion government debt market.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant called SLR reform a priority. The offer is expected in the summer.
