flag The Fed proposes easing capital rules for big banks to boost lending, following industry pressure and rising compliance costs.

flag The Federal Reserve has proposed slightly lowering capital requirements for large banks, aiming to align rules with actual risk and boost lending. flag The changes, part of a broader overhaul of Basel III and G-SIB surcharge rules, simplify calculations, reduce redundancies, and address long-standing disincentives like high risk weights on mortgage-servicing assets. flag The move, expected to allow over $175 billion in excess capital to be used for lending or buybacks, follows industry pressure over rising compliance costs. flag Public comment will be accepted for 90 days, with final rules potentially issued by year’s end.
