BPI, ABA Statement on Final Stress Testing Rules
WASHINGTON -
The Bank Policy Institute is a nonpartisan public policy, research and advocacy group that represents universal banks, regional banks and the major foreign banks doing business in the United States. The Institute produces academic research and analysis on regulatory and monetary policy topics, analyzes and comments on proposed regulations and represents the financial services industry with respect to cybersecurity, fraud and other information security issues.
The American Bankers Association and Bank Policy Institute issued the following statement today in response to the Federal Reserve's final stress testing rules:
"Transparency and public input have produced a better stress testing framework that should improve accuracy and allow more thoughtful capital planning at covered banks, with economic benefits to the country.
"The Fed's decision to re-propose certain pre-provision net revenue models is an example of how opening the process to public comment - as required by the Administrative Procedure Act - is driving better policy. We appreciate that the Fed is taking the time and using an appropriate process to fix flaws in those models identified in the recent comment process."
