SLR Changes Increase Bank Capacity
Recent changes to the supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) are expected to increase the balance sheet capacity of large U.S. banks by up to $5.5 trillion, according to an analysis by Goldman's bank analyst Richard Ramsden.
These changes aim to provide banks with more flexibility to offer short-term secured financing to market participants, potentially improving liquidity in financial markets, particularly the U.S. Treasury (UST) market.
The adjustments to the SLR calculation are designed to ensure that leverage serves as a capital backstop for the banking industry rather than a binding constraint.
(This allows the FED to push $5.5 trillion more in US Treasuries onto banks so we can run astronomical deficits for 2 more years.)
