Lobby calls on EU for extra capital easing to help banks lend more
A banking lobby group called on Tuesday for the European Union to further soften a capital measure to ensure banks do not run out of headroom to help companies hit by the coronavirus crisis. The Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) said the European Central Bank (ECB) has estimated that such measures will free up 120 billion euros ($131 billion) to support 1.8 trillion euros of additional lending. "The question is are these changes going to be sufficient to furnish banks with enough capacity to provide the support to their customers that is going to be needed in the coming downturn, let alone the recovery?" Michael Lever, head of prudential regulation at AFME, said in a blog post.

Europe's banks want regulators to match U.S. leverage plan
Banks are calling on European regulators to match the U.S. Federal Reserve's plan to relax a rule that measures a bank's capital reserves to promote the flow of cash to businesses hit by the coronavirus crisis. Earlier this month, the Fed proposed a temporary easing of a supplementary leverage ratio rule that applies to the biggest U.S. banks that have assets of more than $250 billion. This would allow the U.S. banks to expand their balance sheets by lending more to customers hit by the pandemic, but without busting their leverage ratio cap of 3% of capital to total assets.
