08 June 2017

The BCBS has issued a second set of frequently asked questions and answers on Basel III's Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR). These respond to a number of interpretation questions received by the Basel Committee related to the January 2013 publication of the LCR standard.

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) has received a number of interpretation questions related to its Liquidity Coverage Ratio standard.

To help ensure consistent global implementation of the LCR standard, the Committee has agreed to periodically review frequently asked questions (FAQs) and publish answers along with any technical elaboration of the rules text and interpretative guidance that may be necessary.

The questions and answers published are combined with those published in April 2014 and are grouped according to the paragraph number of the related issue within the LCR framework.
