Fed Moves to Unwind Post-Crisis Capital Framework

The Federal Reserve and partner regulators have proposed sweeping revisions to bank capital requirements,representing the most significant rollback of post-2008 prudential rules in over a decade. The proposals, passed 6-1, would allow the largest U.S. banks to hold approximately $20 billion less in capital buffers while fulfilling long-delayed Basel III commitments in a substantially diluted form. The timing coincides with mounting stress in private credit markets, potentially positioning regulated banks to recapture market share from non-bank lenders.
