Siirsin tänne. Tässä vähän tämän avausta NY Timesin toimesta:
Pari vuotta tuota on jo puuhattu. Eikä se tainnut vieläkään olla ihan yksimielinen päätös edes FEDin sisällä. Yksi leiri sanoo:
“Today’s rule gives a green light for large banks to reduce their capital buffers materially, at a time when payouts have already exceeded earnings for several years on average,” Ms. Brainard said in a statement released alongside the changes that were announced on Wednesday.
ja toinen:
The rule will cause an increase “as measured through the cycle” in common equity capital of about $46 billion at the eight largest U.S. banks, Mr. Quarles said.
…
“Banks also keep certain voluntary buffers above our required minimums, and those buffers will vary somewhat from time to time — nothing in the S.C.B. rule adopted today gives banks an incentive to reduce those buffers,” he said.
Kyllähän tuo väkisin on nähtävä hyväksi asiaksi pankkien osakkeenomistajien kannalta. Pankkien lobbareille erävoitto.
