ABA Statement on Potential Updates to Bank Liquidity Framework
"We welcome Secretary Bessent and Vice Chair Bowman's leadership in recognizing the need to reassess the current bank liquidity framework, including the costs and benefits of the liquidity coverage ratio and the important role the discount window can play as a source of liquidity. A resilient financial system depends on access to diverse and reliable sources of liquidity, and when the flow of liquidity is unintentionally constrained due to poorly calibrated regulations, households and businesses across the country feel the consequences. We look forward to reviewing any potential changes in detail with our members and continuing to engage constructively with policymakers to ensure the discount window aligns with market practice and meets the needs of banks of all sizes."
