Fed Plans to Raise Asset Threshold for Stricter Bank Oversight

TREE NEWS reports: The Federal Reserve is drafting a plan to raise the asset threshold that triggers stricter supervision of large banks, a move that would spare some lenders from costly additional regulatory costs and could spur industry consolidation. The Fed is expected to propose recalibrating the thresholds for balance-sheet stress tests, liquidity, capital and other tougher rules to reflect inflation and economic growth. Three people familiar said the proposals are expected later this year.
