Arnold & Porter Advisory
On February 18, 2014, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System approved its final rule implementing enhanced prudential standards for certain domestic bank holding companies and foreign banking organizations (the Final Rule). While the Final Rule does not implement every provision of the December 2011 and December 2012 proposed rules, the Final Rule still requires enhanced standards of liquidity, risk management, and capital for covered institutions. Compliance with certain of the provisions of the Final Rule begins January 1, 2015.
