Action: Fed Chair Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent have commented in recent months that banking regulators are considering easing the supplemental leverage ratio (SLR), which sets additional capital requirements for banks based on the ratio of a bank’s capital relative to its total leverage. Generally, banks with more than $250 billion in total assets are required to hold at least 3% additional capital (as a percentage of total consolidated assets) with designated global systemically important banks (GSIBs) subject to an additional 2% “enhanced” SLR (totaling 5% of additional capital).Key Insights
