Study Notes
RBI's Proposed Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) Changes
- RBI aims to tighten LCR norms by proposing a higher run-off factor for retail deposits amid rapid growth in mobile and internet banking users.
- New guidelines suggest a 5% additional run-off factor for stable and less stable retail deposits enabled by internet and mobile banking.
- Stable retail deposits will carry a 10% run-off factor, while less stable deposits will have a 15% run-off factor.
- The new regulations are set to be enforced from April 1, 2025, with feedback from banks and stakeholders required by August 31, 2024.
Impact on Bank Liquidity and Operations
- Increased run-off factors could intensify pressure on banks to mobilize resources as credit growth currently exceeds deposit growth.
- RBI has been encouraging banks to manage their credit-to-deposit ratio to address the disparity in deposit liabilities.
- Run-offs denote unanticipated withdrawals by individuals or businesses, and current regulations mandate a 100% liquidity coverage ratio.
High-Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) Considerations
- Banks are expected to hold sufficient HQLAs to withstand potential liquidity disruptions over a 30-day stress scenario.
- Current guidelines dictate that Level 1 HQLAs, primarily consisting of government securities, must be valued no higher than their market value, adjusted for haircuts based on margin requirements.
- Proposed changes are seen as a positive step for strengthening banks' liquidity positions and ensuring compliance with regulatory frameworks.
Shift in Bank Strategies
- To comply with the upcoming LCR norms, banks are likely to increase their holdings of government securities ahead of the new requirements.
- Firms will need to adjust their asset strategies to satisfy both the liquidity goals and the need for higher liquid asset buffers amid tightening regulations.
