Climate change, and policies that governments implement to address it, increasingly have macroeconomic impacts that are relevant for Central banks. But, within their remit, what actions can monetary policymakers take, and what actions should they take? These are questions that Frank Elderson is well qualified to answer. He is a member of the Executive Board of the European Central Bank and Vice-Chair of the Supervisory Board of the European Central Bank, he is co-Chair of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Risks of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, and he was the first Chair of the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System. He tells Tim Phillips about the instruments available to the ECB, the contribution of the NGFS, and the limits of monetary policy in addressing the urgent challenge of climate change.

These changes will significantly impact business models, compelling banks to reconsider their capital allocation strategies.On July 27th, 2023, the US Federal Reserve and FDIC published their Notice for Proposed rulemaking for Basel III endgame. After months of criticism and discussion, on September 10, the Federal Reserve announced a re-proposal of the much discussed and awaited Basel III Endgame.Henry Engler is a Senior Editor for North America for Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence based in New York.

This was the fourth webinar of the series on the revised Core Principles for effective banking supervision.The revised Core Principle 25 emphasizes banks' capacity to handle severe operational risks, including pandemics, cyber threats, and natural disasters. Additionally, the revisions introduce a proportionality approach, aligning regulatory rules and supervisory practices with each bank's systemic importance and risk profile. This ensures that standards are scaled appropriately, from large international institutions to smaller deposit-taking banks, without compromising regulatory strength.The panel discussed the importance of operational resilience for banks in a rapidly changing world, as well as the role of proportionality in effectively scaling standards for different banking sectors.Panelists:Chuchi G.

Lecture summary: This lecture considers what Josef Kunz termed “swings of the pendulum” in international monetary and financial law and the formal and informal institutions in these related fields. International monetary law exploded in importance after the Second World War with the creation of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and a global system of managed exchange rates. With the collapse of the Bretton Woods system in 1971 and a decline in capital controls, the IMF evolved from a dominant institution into a peer of central banks and private markets, providing surveillance of the “non-system” of floating exchange rates and assisting in responses to financial crises.By contrast, international financial law, which was of limited importance during the Bretton Woods era, has become a major soft law force in the global financial sector since the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision was created in 1974. The dichotomy between profit maximization and systemic risk at the core of global finance today is overseen and guided by the technocrats of the Basel Committee, the Financial Stability Board and other institutions of international financial law.Today, the pendulums of international monetary and financial law may be reversing again. Armed conflict, rising authoritarianism, growing fragmentation of the global financial system, and a revival of capital controls and other restrictions on capital flows could reinvigorate international monetary law and the IMF. This institution has reimagined itself multiple times already while staying true to its original mandate of safeguarding monetary stability.Michael Waibel is a professor of international law at the University of Vienna. His teaching and writing focus on international law, international economic law, sovereign debt and international dispute settlement. He received the Deák Prize of the American Society of International Law, the Book Prize of the European Society of International Law and a Leverhulme Prize for his research. He is Co-General Editor of the ICSID Reports (with Jorge Viñuales) and Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of International Economic Law (with Kathleen Claussen and Sergio Puig).

Prepare for $400B in QT by March if Regional Bank Bailout Expires! A "top man" at the Federal Reserve, specifically the "Vice Chairman for Banking Supervision, a super duper important guy, is extremely serious about the Fed not renewing the regional bank bailout program that exploded onto the Fed's balance sheet last March to the tune of about $400 billion. If that's the case, then come March, all those dollars are going to have to be repaid. This will squeeze 3 months worth of quantitative tightening into about 2 weeks come March. It is quite doubtful that the monetary system can handle such extreme pressure. Essentially, the repayment of the Bank Term Funding Program loans could very will be impossible without triggering yet another banking crisis.

Six months ago, we experienced bank runs and three of the four largest bank failures in U.S. history. Regulators declared there was "systemic risk" and provided bailouts for large, uninsured depositors. What is the current situation? While things seem calmer now, what are the continuing risks in the banking sector? Banks face huge mark-to-market losses on their fixed-rate assets, and serious looming problems in commercial real estate. How might banks fare in an environment of higher interest rates over an extended period, or in a recession? Reform ideas include a 1,000-page "Basel Endgame" capital regulation proposal. Which reforms make the most sense and which proposals don't? Our expert and deeply experienced panel will take up these questions and provide their own recommendations in their signature lively manner.Featuring:- William M.

Community Financial Servs. Ass'n of America, Ltd. (October 3) - Constitutional Law, Appropriations; Whether the court of appeals erred in holding that the statute providing funding to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 12 U.S.C. § 5497, violates the appropriations clause in Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution, and in vacating a regulation promulgated at a time when the Bureau was receiving such funding.Acheson Hotels, LLC v.

Raiders Retreat Realty Co., LLC (October 10) - Admiralty; Whether, under federal admiralty law, a choice-of-law clause in a maritime contract can be rendered unenforceable if enforcement is contrary to the “strong public policy” of the state whose law is displaced.Alexander v. South Carolina State Conference of the NAACP (October 11) - Election Law; Whether the district court erred when it failed to apply the presumption of good faith and to holistically analyze South Carolina Congressional District 1 and the South Carolina General Assembly's intent. Additionally, the court's handling of the alternative-map requirement, its treatment of the relationship between race and politics, the assessment of racial predominance in District 1, and the consideration of intentional discrimination are all under scrutiny.

Economist and AEI senior fellow Dr. Paul Kupiec joins Rep. Crenshaw to explain the abrupt collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. They break down in layman's terms what caused the collapse, the failures in regulatory and management oversight, how this will affect taxpayers, and options policymakers must weigh to reform and fortify our financial systems from systemic risk. *Editor's note* Rep. Crenshaw and Dr. Kupiec skipped the standard intro and jumped right into the conversation. Please see below for Dr. Kupiec's bio. Paul Kupiec is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where he studies systemic risk and the management and regulations of banks and financial markets. Before joining AEI, Kupiec was an associate director of the Division of Insurance and Research within the Center for Financial Research at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Kupiec was also director of the Center for Financial Research at the FDIC and chairman of the Research Task Force of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. He has previously worked at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Freddie Mac, J.P. Morgan, and for the Division of Research and Statistics at the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Kupiec has edited many professional journals, including the Journal of Financial Services Research, Journal of Risk, and Journal of Investment Management. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in economics from The George Washington University and a doctorate in economics — with a specialization in finance, theory, and econometrics — from the University of Pennsylvania.
Under the Biden Administration, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Director Rohit Chopra has dramatically increased the substantive reach of the CFPB's use of guidance documents and examination and supervision powers. This includes the articulation of a new standard of Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts or Practices (UDAAP) that includes allegedly discriminatory practices. It also has announced it intends to use “dormant” powers from Dodd-Frank that would allow it to conduct supervisory exams on nonbanks or any fintech it believes is risky. Many critics argue that many of these acts should be conducted through notice and comment rule-making processes and point to similar efforts during the Obama Administration when similar extensive use of guidance was treated as equivalent to a rulemaking for purposes of the Congressional Review Act. A major lawsuit has also challenged this assertion of authority by the CFPB.In this episode, experts discuss the specifics of the CFPB's assertion of expansive authority in these areas, the use of supervision more generally in relation to rulemaking, and the lawsuit that has challenged these acts.Featuring:Brian Johnson, Managing Director, Banking Supervision and Regulation Group, Patomak Global PartnersBryan Schneider, Partner, Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP[Moderator] Todd Zywicki, George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason UniversityVisit our website – www.RegProject.org – to learn more, view all of our content, and connect with us on social media.*******As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
Political parties have kicked against the new cash withdrawal limits introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria, stating that it could choke the political process. Parties including the Peoples Democratic Party, Social Democratic Party, Africa Democratic Congress and African Democratic Party contended that the policy would affect the fundraising required by the candidates to sustain their campaigns ahead of the 2023 elections. Governor Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State had accused the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, of targeting the political class with the new cash withdrawal limit which restricts over-the-counter cash withdrawal by individuals and companies to N100,000 and N500,000, respectively, per week. The CBN's Director of Banking Supervision, Haruna Mustafa, says withdrawals above the thresholds would attract processing fees of five per cent and 10 per cent, respectively, for individuals and corporate entities going forward.

In our discussion of regulatory challenges, we consider the continuing impact of “true lender” challenges on bank-nonbank partnerships, how regulators approach industry innovation, and whether regulators should face stronger challenges from industry (including what the SCOTUS EPA decision could mean for such challenges). In our discussion of economic challenges, we consider the impact of inflation and recession fears on bank activity. Other topics include the role of bank mergers in the marketplace for banking services and issues faced by regulators in addressing crypto assets. Alan Kaplinsky, Ballard Spahr Senior Counsel, hosts the conversation.
The U.S. market accounted for 90 percent of self storage inventory worldwide in 2018 and investors remain optimistic as experts forecast the market to be worth $64.71 billion by 2026. Today, we will explore this asset class with our guest, Sergio Altomare. Sergio and his wife pivoted to the self storage industry in 2018 and have exponentially grown since then. We are privileged to hear about how they started, their discipline, strategies, and advice for people who want to invest in the self storage business. Click now and listen to our conversation! Remember, this is your MBA. Have a notepad handy, and get ready to take some notes!Key Points from This Episode: How Sergio and his wife started in real estate – just under 400,000 in triplex and under a million in multifamily. How they scaled quickly to 50 million assets under management and five properties under contract. Their secret sauce: discipline. Their discipline in terms of strategy and how they evaluate the property. Sergio talks about their self storage facilities – purchase price units, location, acquisition, and value-add strategy. How Sergio evaluates a deal especially in a new market. Leveraging on relationships with bigger brokers to find great deals. The two sides of self storage: real estate and business. Self storage, when it comes to real estate, is good in good times and great in bad times. The four D's why self storage is a needed service: death, downsizing, divorce, and dislocation. Why self storage as a business is a very good asset. How self storage is recession-resistant. Sergio talks about the markets that they are in and their unit count. Why are they focusing more on family offices instead of large institutional investors? Tweetables:“It's about being disciplined and being disciplined in terms of having a strategy, having a game plan, and responding to what the economy and the markets are doing, as opposed to what you think they're going to do.” – Sergio Altomare“If you're disciplined in what you do, and how you evaluate things, then then you can be fine.” – Sergio Altomare“It (self storage) is actually a bigger business than it is real estate.” – Sergio Altomare“[Real estate] is a marathon, never a sprint.” – Tejas GosaiLinks Mentioned:Heathfire Capital websiteSergio Altomare on LinkedInWho Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork Kindle Edition by Dan SullivanAbout Sergio AltomareAfter transitioning into real estate as a side business in 2012, Sergio partnered with his wife Corinn to start Hearthfire Holdings, a boutique real estate investment and property management company. In just eight short years, Hearthfire Holdings has built a portfolio of more than $50M in assets under management and syndicated over $12M in assets, returning more than $2M in profit and 25 percent IRR to investors. Property types have spanned small multi-family, commercial, retail, and self-storage properties. Sergio has also flipped houses and rehabbed properties and multi-family developments.Sergio began his career in 1994 working in the U.S. Federal Reserve System (FRS). During his 22+ years there, he worked his way up the corporate ladder in all facets of technology, including network engineering, information security, project management and architecture, and strategy. Sergio has worked on projects and implemented systems across the banking and financial industries, with budgets of more than $100M. Notable projects include implementing secure email, mobile strategy for the division of Banking Supervision and Regulation and enterprise collaboration for the entire Federal Reserve System. In 2015, Sergio was promoted to officer in charge of technology strategy for the Treasury Services Division of the FRS. He developed a strategy to consolidate enterprise storage and enhance treasury operations and support. His experience, IT skills, and ability to navigate the corporate ladder have given Sergio the foundation to build a real estate business and scale it through strong systems, processes, and data analytics.------------------------------------Please subscribe to the Real Estate Investor MBA Podcast on the following platforms: iTunesSpotifyStitcheriHeart RadioTuneINGoogle PodcastThis episode is brought to you by the Lehigh Valley Private Equity Fund, a Regulation D, evergreen, private equity fund providing Accredited Investors an 8% annual preferred return and an overall annualized target return of 12 - 18%, through diversification in lending and acquisitions in the Lehigh Valley real estate market.

Despite the buildup, m many small businesses are still not able to accept Bitcoin payments. And now the price of Bitcoin has dropped by roughly 37 percent since September. That means El Salvador's holdings of the cryptocurrency have plummeted. https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/https://coinmarketcap.com/Please subscribe, like, and share so that more and more people can view this content.DISCLAIMER: I will never give any financial advice.

The Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) was initiated by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in the years following the 2007-2009 financial crisis with the aim of completely revising the approach of calculating risk-based capital requirements for trading activities. In this podcast, SIFMA's Peter Ryan, Head of International Capital Markets and Prudential Policy, sits down with Joseph Seidel, Chief Operating Officer, to provide a high-level introduction to the FRTB, describing what it was designed to do and why we are hearing more about it now, and explain what is contained in the package of reforms.

The rise of blockchain and crypto assets are going to profoundly influence the future development of financial services and are naturally of great interest to supervisors. How supervisors decide to regulate crypto will in itself play a major role in how traditional financial services adapt to this new phenomenon. This episode looks at the approaches being taken in the EU, UK, US and some other jurisdictions and how it might impact the transition of crypto into mainstream finance. It also looks at how the recent consultation by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision on the prudential treatment of crypto exposures will influence banks. Exploring these issues is Yves Longchamp, head of research at SEBA Bank, a Swiss bank providing a bridge between traditional and digital assets and Lavan Thasarathakumar, the regulatory affairs director EMEA at Global Digital Finance, an association advocating for digital assets.

Welcome to Finance and Fury. This episode we will continue looking at the crypto markets. In particular, we focus on the regulatory frameworks that have been released by the Bank for international settlements, BIS for short. One division of the BIS - the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision - released a consultation paper this month to provide a framework to every nation's regulator of financial institutions on how to treat cryptocurrencies - Now – the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision is the world's most powerful regulator of banking standards and rules – it gets to decide what capital adequacy banks should focus on, as well as what assets should be classified as capital – if you have been listening for a while, you would have heard me mention this group – they are who APRA, who regulates superfunds and banks in Aus take their directions from So this recent release is meant to provide the framework for banks on how to treat different forms of cryptocurrency on their balance sheets - if they wish to start purchasing crypto The big question of this episode is if this is a major win for cryptocurrencies, as it was initially treated as purely based around market price reactions, or is this something that could actually damage the crypto markets through a financial system takeover? Firstly, it is important to note that this paper does not refer to crypto as a currency – such as the name cryptocurrency would imply – instead, they call them cryptoassets – implying that these are assets for banks or for the financial system to hold or trade these as assets – this off the bat could be viewed as an implied intent, where in the BIS's view, existing cryptos will never be treated as a currency in the mainstream – but I wanted to mention this as I will be using the term cryptoasset throughout most of this episode when it is in relation to this prudential paper – please forgive me in advance as cryptoassets will be mentioned a lot Another important point is that this report specifically states that central bank digital currencies will not fall under this legislative framework – which also implies that this is a serious option that they are looking at and will fall under a different legislative framework – as an actual currency, not a crypto asset – which we will come back to next week Start with the introduction to the BIS report – The BIS have noted that over the past few years, they have seen rapid growth in cryptoassets – with market capitalisation of these assets rising – sitting at an estimated $1.5 trillion But while the cryptoasset market remains small relative to the size of the global financial system – there continues to be rapid developments, with increased attention from a broad range of stakeholders – these stakeholders are some investment banks, since banks like JPM, Goldman and Citi have already launched their own crypto-focused businesses – I find it hard to believe that the BIS would view individuals as stakeholders In this report the BIS brings up the normal rage of concerns with Cryptoassets – including consumer protection, money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as their carbon footprint from the electricity usage But the big point of concern they focus on is that, quote: “The Committee is of the view that the growth of cryptoassets and related services has the potential to raise financial stability concerns and increase risks faced by banks.” In other words, crypto can be destabilising on the financial system – anything that provides some potential competition is destabilising if you are used to monopoly controls – this happens in all aspects of commerce – if you have a monopoly business operating who can fix prices and provide poor services, then a competitor appears, this is destabilising for your business practices, you will lose customers – so what to do? In most cases they simply buy out the competitor or have them shut down If banks were to start trading crypto using derivatives, then this could also pose a risk to the financial system The report also mentions that certain cryptoassets have exhibited a high degree of volatility, and could present risks for banks as exposures increases – these risks include liquidity risk; credit risk; market risk; operational risk (which include fraud and cyber risks); money laundering / terrorist financing risk; and legal and reputation risks – this basically ticks all the risk boxes beyond political/legislative risk – but to the BIS this isn't a concern, as they impose these risks on the market To that end, the BIS Committee has taken steps to address these risks through producing this legislative framework – and they first started looking at this over two years ago, back in March 2019 – where the Committee published an article on the risks associated with cryptoassets – then in December 2019, the Committee published a discussion paper seeking views of stakeholders on a range of issues related to the prudential treatment of cryptoassets – remember stakeholders are entities with direct connections to the BIS – i.e. Central Banks and megabanks It is important to note that mega banks like JPM, Goldman and Citi group are very interest in securitising crypto – anything that can be securities to make a profit off is a bonus in their eyes – remember in the mid-2000s they were creating synthetic contracts off collateral debt obligations – i.e. peoples mortgages to try and made more money than simply what the interest payments could provide to a commercial bank How does this legislative framework treat cryptocurrencies – or cryptoassets as the BIS refers to them – I won't be covering the minute details for the sake of time, as this report is 20 something pages long – but if you are interested the links will be in the show notes at financeandfury.com – or you can look up Prudential treatment of cryptoasset exposures – but I will be covering the higher level implications of this framework Cryptoassets are defined as private digital assets that depend primarily on cryptography and distributed ledger or similar technology – these digital assets are a digital representation of value, which can be used for payment or investment purposes The prudential treatment of cryptoassets has been guided by three general principles: Same risk, same activity, same treatment: a cryptoasset that provides equivalent economic functions and poses the same risks compared with a “traditional asset” should be subject to the same capital, liquidity and other requirements as the traditional asset. The prudential treatment should, however, account for any additional risks arising from cryptoasset exposures relative to traditional assets. Simplicity: The design of the prudential treatment of cryptoassets should be simple. Cryptoassets are currently a relatively small asset class for banks. As the market, technologies and related services of cryptoassets are still evolving, there is merit in starting with a simple and cautious treatment that could, in principle, be revisited in the future depending on the evolution of cryptoassets. Minimum standards: Any Committee-specified prudential treatment of cryptoassets would constitute a minimum standard for internationally active banks. Jurisdictions would be free to apply additional and/or more conservative measures if warranted. As such, jurisdictions that prohibit their banks from having any exposures to cryptoassets would be deemed compliant with a global prudential standard This is an important point – as the framework is the minimum standards that need to be applied – if a regulator wishes to go above and beyond, or even ban banks for holding crypto, that is well within their rights and would be deemed compliant In essence – what these principles do – assuming a bank is allowed to trade crypto - is break it down into groups of assets – Group 1 (broken down into A and B) and then Group 2 Group 1 cryptoassets – these fulfil a set of classification conditions and as such are eligible for treatment under the existing Basel Framework (with some modifications and additional guidance). These include certain tokenised traditional assets and stablecoins Group 1 cryptoassets will be subject to at least equivalent risk-based capital requirements based on the risk weights of underlying exposures as set out in the existing Basel capital framework. The cryptoasset either is a tokenised traditional asset or has a stabilisation mechanism that is effective at all times in linking its value to an underlying traditional asset or a pool of traditional assets. In the case of underlying physical assets, they must verify that these assets are stored and managed appropriately All cryptoasset arrangements must ensure full transferability and settlement finality at all times. In addition, cryptoassets with stabilisation mechanisms must ensure full redeemability (ie the ability to exchange cryptoassets for cash, bonds, commodities, equities or other traditional assets) at all times. Group 2 cryptoassets – are those, such as bitcoin, that do not fulfil the classification conditions. Since these pose additional and higher risks, they would be subject to a new conservative prudential treatment These coins are the ones that people would be more familiar with – such as BTC, ETH, ripple, really any coin that isn't a stable coin or a tokenized version of an asset like a share, bond, commodity or currency Each of these groups therefore have different Capital requirements for each banks reserve requirement - Similar to activities related to traditional assets that the banks hold, such as loans, bank activity related to cryptoassets will increase the operational risk charge to a bank within the Basel framework – due to cryptoassets being new and rapidly evolving, there is potentially an increased likelihood that they pose unanticipated operational risks in most cases to the banking system – this is basically saying that they don't know the true risks to the financial system if banks start trading crypto Group 1 cryptoassets will be subject to the requirements set out in the Basel Framework for a normal asset that the banks hold – group 1 is broken up into two categories depending on the classification of the asset Group 1a cryptoassets: tokenised traditional assets – i.e Tokenised traditional assets use an alternative way of recording ownership of traditional assets through the use of cryptography - may be treated as equivalent to a traditional asset for the purpose of calculating minimum capital requirements for credit and market risk - In practice this means that a tokenised cryptoasset is treated the same as - Bonds, loans, commodities, deposits and equities in regards to capital adequacy requirements This is because this form of cryptoasset must confer the same level of legal rights as ownership of these traditional forms of financing, eg rights to cash flows, claims in insolvency etc. For example, a tokenised corporate bond held in the banking book will be subject to the same risk weight as the non-tokenised corporate bond held in the banking book. Similarly, if a bank holds a derivative on a tokenised asset, it will be reflected in the market risk charge in the same way as a derivative on the non-tokenised asset – so in the banks eyes there is no difference in holding a bond or a tokenised version of the bond so – a tokenised cyptoasset can be recognised as collateral for the purposes of credit risk mitigation if it falls within the framework Group 1b cryptoassets: cryptoassets with stabilisation mechanisms that seek to link the value of a cryptoasset to the value of a traditional asset or a pool of traditional assets through a stabilisation mechanism. Cryptoassets under this category must be redeemable for underlying traditional asset(s) (eg cash, bonds, commodities, equities) – things like a stablecoin – so whilst not a tokenised version of the asset, its value is linked to the underlying asset, therefore it is treated relatively similar – however Group 2 cryptoassets – are those that pose unique risks compared with Group 1 - as such are subject to the newly prescribed capital requirement – these are coins like BTC and ETH – anything that doesn't have a tether to the value A risk weight of 1250% is applied to the greater of the absolute value of the aggregate long positions and the absolute value of the aggregate short positions to which the bank is exposed. A 1250 percent risk-weight is the equivalent in banking terminology to a 100% capital requirement So for bitcoin and Ethereum - this would require banks to hold $1 dollar for every $1 in "exposure" to those assets This is in line with the toughest standards for banks' exposures on riskier assets, such as illiquid shares or junk bonds - So if the bank has a $100 exposure in bitcoin this would result in a minimum capital requirement of $100 This also applies to cryptoasset derivatives positions with the potential maximum loss value under a RWA formula – This can be a bit of an issue for the derivative markets – as the RWA is often not the total loss based around the value of the trade, but the cost of the derivative contract – which is often many times smaller – as you are paying for a premium So in summary – if the assets are a tokenised version of an asset, or use an asset as an anchor for their value, then the banks can hold these and it can be treated as part of their capital requirements under the existing Basel III requirements – so banks can use this as part of CAR to against their RWA – under Basel III – you need to hold 8% of your RWA – which in Aus is calculated as 35% of your loans My take on all of this This could be good news for crypto markets, as they now may see greater recognition by the most powerful financial institution on earth when it comes to providing direction on regulatory frameworks Or, it could be that the financial system sees another way to make some money – so why not take the plunge? There is nothing inheritably wrong with making money – but the way that banks do this, especially in the US is different from you or I purchasing crypto The issue with this is the structure of the financial system – as these banks are TBTF If you buy one BTC for $50k and it drops down to $10k, you have lost $40k which sucks – you will likely feel bad – but you can hold onto this and hope the price recovers But the way a bank like JPM or Goldmans make these trading positions is normally though the use of derivatives on these assets – they only put up a fraction of the funds and cannot simply hold if the prices decline – because of counter party risk – as each bank tries to get out of a position at one point of time – this can create major issues -financial system collapse – If you go bankrupt – then too bad – if a bank goes bankrupt – this becomes your problem – as banks will get bailed out – remember, they are Too big to fail The BIS notes that the extreme price volatility of some of these assets – particularly those in group 2 – have unproven track record of liquidity will make it challenging to hedge positions when providing derivative instruments or when manufacturing investment products that reference crypto assets There are any number of ways that this can explode in the future – here are just three I can think of off the top of my head One – Requirements for additional dollars or bonds to be printed to absorb the increase in the RWA for any bank holding category 2 of the crypto assets – Say BTC does go to $500k - Banks need to increase cash they hold if prices rise – banks don't hold much cash relative to their overall asset and liability position – the balance sheet of banks is basically neutral – they have the same amount of liabilities as assets – so if the price of cryptos increases massively, then banks would need to have central banks expand the money supply further for them to maintain their CAR requirements Reminds me a little bit of the Mississippi bubble – the price of assets increases to the point that people want to cash out – but not for a worthless form of conversion such as the paper money being issued – if cash like the USD continues to be expanded at its current pace – people could request alternative assets destabilising the financial system - could create a major issue down the road Two – asset bubble through bank speculation and derivative practices – The GFC period was bad enough when you have banks speculating on newly created assets – whilst mortgages have been around for hundreds of years, the CDOs were relatively new – Through entering into crypto – banks are entering into a new territory of pure speculation – the buying and selling of cryptoassets by itself isn't the issue – but the speculative practice of derivates and who knows what else they come up with in the years to come could become a major issue for the stability of the financial system – could both collapse crypto markets as well as shares and bonds if economic confidence gets hit Three – Additional risks, such as AML issues – if the banks do not act in good faith, because to be honest they do not have a good history of this – there could be a call by regulators for additional crack downs on crypto So in summary – this legislation Creates a two tiered system for Cryptos – and opens the door for the largest financial entities to begin speculating on what is already a volatile asset For the two tiers - one is seen as good as the assets underlying it - The other – is seen as a very risky asset class So we may also see the rise of tokenised assets and a new wave of how the economy works In addition – it means that you will now be competing with the most sophisticated traders on earth – complex computer algorithms dictating market prices could see larger swings in volatility It goes without say that governments are increasingly focused on issues surrounding cryptocurrencies – especially with some central banks exploring digital currencies – this even came up in the recent G7 meetings this month So we will finish off the crypto series next episode looking at China's Central bank digital currency Thank you for listening to today's episode.

Environmental, social governance (ESG) factors and the rapid rise of crypto assets and currencies and blockchain have all become major focal points for supervisors. This is necessitating, in some cases, new regulatory frameworks or adapting existing ones. In this episode, Bryan Stirewalt, the CEO of the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) shares his insights into how the authority is approaching the regulation of crypto and he also delves into how the global adoption of ESG can be encouraged in a more standardised fashion.Other topics covered include the DFSA's work with international standard setters such as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision where Mr Stirewalt represents non-Committee members.

When it comes to setting out the financial system’s response to climate change and the related risks, it is clear that financial regulation will have a key role to play. Over the past year, we’ve seen supervisors setting out their expectations for climate risk management, with a number undertaking stress testing or scenario analysis exercises. More authorities are implementing mandatory Climate-Related Financial Disclosures, and the NGFS continues to grow, with now over 80 members. The recognition of climate change as a source of systemic risk means that this flurry of activity is set to continue this year. That’s why this episode will be focusing on what the appropriate role of financial services is in tackling climate change, as well as the best way to test firms’ resilience to these risks. We’ll also discuss how climate risks should be balanced alongside broader ESG risks and some of the key hurdles that will need to be overcome in the years ahead. This episode covers: How financial regulators are responding to climate risk Stress testing and scenario analysis – how and when these tools should be deployed Some of the current limitations around data Looking beyond climate change to broader environmental issues If you have any questions, thoughts or feedback regarding this podcast series, we would love to hear from you.

“What can be measured, can be managed” Paul Hiebert, Head of Systemic Risk & Financial Institutions Division at the European Central Bank, joins Kopi time to talk about climate change and financial risks. He goes over the key initiatives undertaken by various Euro area institutions to produce and disseminate better data, standards, and analysis so that private and public sector can prepare for the impending high cost of dealing with climate change. Paul shares estimates of relevant long-term potential loss in GDP and the annual cost of remedial measures that are now being used for planning and regulation purposes. He then goes over key initiatives by regulators and governments to estimate climate change related credit risk on the balance sheet of the financial sector, work in progress to build the capacity to price such risks, and simulation and scenario analysis to quantify the need for further investment. Paul also sheds light on initiatives beyond the Euro Area, such as by the Network for Greening the Financial System, the Financial Stability Board, and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.

Following the 2007-9 global financial crisis - the Basel framework underwent significant revisions. It's partly thanks to these changes that banks entered the Covid-19 pandemic induced crisis in a robust condition. Nonetheless, it remains unclear how deep and prolonged the current downturn will be and how many bad loans banks will notch up in the process. Therefore, could there be further revisions to the Basel framework? Particularly if the current crisis turns out to be particularly bad and badly damages the financial sector? Also, the world is far more divided than it was on the eve of the last financial crisis. How might this impact supervisory cooperation, deliberations within the Basel Committee and adherence to the Basel framework. And lastly, what impact might sustainable finance and climate change have on prudential frameworks? Addressing these topics is Bill Coen, former secretary general of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and chair of the IFRS Advisory Council. He also sits on the board of directors of the Toronto Centre, a global non-profit organisation that provides leadership training in financial supervision. Also, sharing his views is Paul Sharma, a Managing Director at Alvarez & Marsal and was a Deputy Head of the Prudential Regulation Authority and a former member of the Basel Committee See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
