Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity and Long-Term Debt Requirement

FRB rule to strengthen resolvability of largest banks in US without extraordinary government support or taxpayer assistance

US Federal Reserve Board proposal would require parent holding companies (HCs) of US globally systemically important banks (G-SIBs) to maintain minimum levels of total loss absorbing capacity (TLAC) and long-term unsecured debt (LTD), and a related buffer. Prescribes certain additional buffers, the breach of which would result in limitations on the capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments of a covered bank holding company (BHC). Applies similar requirements to the top-tier U.S. intermediate holding company of a global systemically important foreign banking organization with $50 billion or more in US non-branch assets (covered IHC). Imposes restrictions on other liabilities that a covered BHC or covered IHC may have outstanding in order to improve their resolvability and resiliency.
