View the FAQ list. Nichols: Basel Proposal 'Unworkable'The capital standards proposal is unworkable in its current form and needs to be withdrawn, ABA President and CEO Rob Nichols said. During a joint ABA/BPI press conference, Nichols highlighted three key problems with the proposal: Regulators failed to conduct a thorough and transparent data analysis to justify the rule change; it would restrict funding availability at a time when policymakers are working to avoid a recession; and it would ultimately threaten the ability of banks of all sizes to serve their customers, clients and communities. “Regulators also say these changes are being driven by an international agreement, yet their foreign counterparts in other countries have chosen not to impose these higher capital requirements on their banks, putting U.S. institutions at a competitive disadvantage,” Nichols said. “These are outcomes no one should want and we can avoid them if regulators rethink this proposal.” Nichols noted that regulators have stated repeatedly over the past several years that the banking sector is already strong and well-capitalized. He also noted that U.S. banks not only survived the economic challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, but played a critical role in helping the U.S. economy emerge faster from that downturn than the rest of the world. “So the bottom line is we don’t see the justification for these kinds of capital increases,” he said.
