Industry Supports Total Loss Absorbency Requirement To Help Ensure G-SIBs Can Be Resolved In An Orderly Manner Without Taxpayer Assistance - Industry's Empirical Analysis Shows FSB's TLAC Calibration Is Higher Than Needed

Date 03/02/2015

Today, The Clearing House (TCH), the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), the American Bankers Association (ABA) and the Financial Services Roundtable (FSR) filed a comment letter with the Financial Stability Board (FSB) in response to its proposal to impose a total loss absorbing capacity (TLAC) requirement on global systemically important banking groups (G-SIBs).  The letter expresses the industry's strong support for a TLAC requirement for G-SIBs to help ensure that these institutions can be resolved in an orderly way at creditor rather than taxpayer expense, bringing us one final step closer to ending "Too Big to Fail."  The letter also highlights the importance of ensuring that any such requirement be empirically calibrated to achieve its express policy objective - which is to ensure that a G-SIB can absorb sufficient losses to permit its orderly resolution and recapitalization without taxpayer assistance.
