Going forward: an unprecedented level of international cooperation is necessary to achieve global regulatory reform.
In his testimony to the U.S. Senate, Federal Reserve Governor Daniel Tarullo enumerated the goals for international cooperation:
REGULATORY AND INDUSTRY INITIATIVES IMPACTING FINANCIAL INSTITU TIONS
Increase the stability of the financial system through adoption of strong,
common regulatory standards for large financial firms and important financial markets
Prevent major competitive imbalances between U.S. and foreign financial
institutions – a core set of good, common standards will reduce opportunities for cross-border regulatory arbitrage
Establish effective supervision of global financial institutions through a clear
understanding of home and host country responsibilities, and through adequate flows of information and analysis
Exchange information and analysis to identify potential sources of financial
instability, and take action to mitigate the buildup of risks in the global financial markets

Description
Agreed to changes as of Sept 13th, 2010:
Tier 1 capital minimums from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets by
2015.
Common equity minimum from 2% to 4.5% of risk-weighted assets by
2015; an additional buffer bringing the ratio to 7% will be required by 2019.

starting in 2011; minimum to be introduced in 2018. Minimum leverage ratio of 3% being tested during the parallel run period (20132017).
Liquidity coverage ratio (liquid assets / 30 day cash outflow) to be
observed starting 2011; minimum to be introduced in 2015.
Net stable funding ratio (available amount of stable funding / required
amount of stable funding) to be observed starting in 2012; minimum to be introduced in 2018.
Among the first countries to propose a new regulatory framework, the UK is awaiting final global rules before finalizing reforms.
Regulation
UK Changes
Description
Banks are required to improve reporting and controls around liquidity,
and to maintain a ―buffer‖ of liquid assets. Timeline is flexible and contingent upon improvement of economic conditions.
Stricter capital requirements have already been imposed on targeted
banks, but statutory requirements will be set in conjunction with global rules.
A levy on bank wholesale liabilities will start at 4bps in Jan, 2011 and
E F F E C T I V E L I Q U I D I T Y M A N A G E M E N T I N T O D A Y’S M A R K E T : CONSIDERATIONS FOR LIQUIDITY BUFFERS
rise to 7bps.
A new institutional framework will have three regulatory bodies
responsible for (1) maintaining financial stability, (2) prudential regulation of systemically important firms, and (3) conduct of business for all firms, consumer protection, and supervision of smaller firms.
Area of impact
Banks: interbank lending and wholesale lending NBFI: access to credit
Potential implications
Reduction of interbank lending. Alternate sources of funding may be necessary for banks. Higher cost of credit and reduced credit availability due to higher
cost of capital.
Increased costs due to: – Opportunity cost as a higher percentage of assets are forced
E F F E C T I V E L I Q U I D I T Y M A N A G E M E N T I N T O D A Y’S M A R K E T : CONSIDERATIONS FOR LIQUIDITY BUFFERS
FSA Liquidity buffers
Banks and NBFI: self-funding options and internal costs
to be held in lower yielding government securities.
– Operational burden and costs of turning over the liquidity
buffer regularly.
Reduced self-funding options due to requirement to hold a
prescribed amount of government securities as ―churn-able‖ liquid assets.
Credit and liquidity continued: more instrument choice. Money market reform will
change the profile of money market exposure.
Driver
U.S. Repeal of Reg. Q
Area of impact
Banks and NBFIs: more choice for short term cash.
Potential implications
A new product suite will likely be created by most banks, including
interest bearing DDA‘s. Sweeps will no longer be necessary to earn interest.
Some products will remain, such as ECR for clients who wish to
mitigate fees, and time deposits for companies who want to trade tenor and liquidity for rate.
E F F E C T I V E L I Q U I D I T Y M A N A G E M E N T I N T O D A Y’S M A R K E T : CONSIDERATIONS FOR LIQUIDITY BUFFERS
U.S. Money market reform
Money market funds: Restricted pool of investment opportunities Banks: may benefit from lower funding cost of commercial paper. All Companies: changing exposure profile of money market funds.
New limitations will put downward pressure on yields. This will put
money market funds at a disadvantage vis-à-vis bank deposits.
Higher risk in money markets due to reduced diversification.
Some funds have begun to use non-government securities collateral for repos (which are usually backed by government bonds) in search for higher yields.
Higher concentration of exposure in European bank paper as
investment options have become limited.
New rules on suspension of redemptions may impact how liquid
you view money market funds.
Basel III: Liquidity Considerations
Proposal introduces two new liquidity ratios
The Liquidity Coverage Ratio is designed to ensure that a bank has sufficient high
quality liquid resources to survive a combined idiosyncratic and market-wide shock, which would result in a three-notch downgrade of an institution‘s public credit rating, over 30 days
Liquidity Coverage Ratio: Stock of high quality liquid assets ≥100% Net cash outflows over a 30-day time period
E F F E C T I V E L I Q U I D I T Y M A N A G E M E N T I N T O D A Y’S M A R K E T : CONSIDERATIONS FOR LIQUIDITY BUFFERS
The Net Stable Funding Ratio (―NSFR‖) measures the amount of longer-term, stable
sources of funding with maturities greater than or equal to one year, employed relative to the liquidity profiles of the assets funded and the potential for contingent calls of funding liquidity arising from off-balance sheet commitments and obligations
Net Stable Funding Ratio:
Amount of stable funding Required amount of stable funding
>100%
Basel III: Liquidity Considerations
Implications and considerations
Liquidity Coverage Ratio Definition of Liquid Assets is highly restrictive as only U.S. Treasuries and
OECD foreign government securities are considered as highly liquid assets, while Agencies and Agency MBS securities are not included
Deposit outflow assumptions not synchronized with empirical evidence Run-off factors linked to segment and operating based assumption
E F F E C T I V E L I Q U I D I T Y M A N A G E M E N T I N T O D A Y’S M A R K E T : CONSIDERATIONS FOR LIQUIDITY BUFFERS
Competitive pricing pressure for deposit relationships deemed to have ‗long
term value‘
Net Stable Funding Ratio Financial and Sovereign deposit customers are not considered stable funding
components
Agencies and Agency MBS securities (including dollar rolls) would require
100% funding greater than one year
The availability factor for non-financial corporate maturing in < 1 year is 50% The availability factor for other unsecured wholesales funding maturing in < 1
year is 0%
FSA Liquid Asset Buffer considerations
If your firm does not have or only has limited access and the scale to maintain its own repo
capability or to hold large buffers of government bonds, our solution can help you to address the practical difficulties of managing the liquid asset buffer.
Dependent on business, treasury and liquidity risk profile the following questions are important to
be considered before defining the right composition of the liquid asset buffer.
What is the ideal currency mix of the buffer?
E F F E C T I V E L I Q U I D I T Y M A N A G E M E N T I N T O D A Y’S M A R K E T : CONSIDERATIONS FOR LIQUIDITY BUFFERS
EUR, USD, GBP or any other currency? What is the right mix of central bank reserves, directly held govt securities, reverse repos and qualifying MMFs? What should be the allocation to overnight vs. term positions? UK, US, EU member states or any supranational body?
What type of instruments should make up the buffer? What should be the maturity profile of the buffer? Which government‘s debt the buffer should use?
Where the buffer securities should be safekept?
Assets must be held in an account with one or more custodians. What level of diversification is required?
What can J.P. Morgan do to help?
J.P. Morgan offers a comprehensive end-to-end investment and reporting service enabling ILAS firms regulated by the FSA‘s Prudential Sourcebook to complement the composition of their liquid asset buffer by investing in qualifying money market funds or adding a portfolio of reverse repurchase offers backed by highquality government debt or the combination of both. The benefits of the solution include: GLOBAL TRADING ACCESS An expert global multi-currency trading desk with extensive counterparty relationships . Ready access to eligible securities in the three major currencies via reverse repurchase offers.

Liquidity Buffer Considerations
Focus on a viable business & funding model: numerous on and off balance sheet exposures and positions ASSET SIDE Ensure securities are BoE / ECB eligible and repo market eligible. Eliminate delinquencies / Non Performing Loans. Eliminate structured and non-strategic assets. Increase pricing on lending products + committed credit lines. Watch ―shadow banking‖.
LIABILITY SIDE
E F F E C T I V E L I Q U I D I T Y M A N A G E M E N T I N T O D A Y’S M A R K E T : CONSIDERATIONS FOR LIQUIDITY BUFFERS
Minimize / review dependence on intra-group funding.
GENERAL Harmonize with sister companies operating in other major jurisdictions. Review ISDAs / CSAs – all collateral arrangements. Use CLS and review all cross-currency swaps as sources of funding. Shift from OTC to more standardized derivatives + connect to a CCP.
Implications of Basel III liquidity proposal – Liquidity Coverage Ration

¹ Financial crisis occurred between late 2007 and mid 2009 ² Includes impact of account payable/receivable, trading assets derivatives payable/receivable, and other contractual payments <30 days Note: Preliminary view (as of 9/7/10) of J.P. Morgan LCR ratio based on interpretation of current rules/ initial estimates of 2Q10 asset buffer and net funding outflow. Subject to change as interpretation of Basel III liquidity rules is ongoing and dependant on guidance from Basel/International regulators Numbers rounded for presentation purposes.

US dollar clearing systems
US dollar payment systems are the means by which payments are processed and settled among banks. The major methods for single, wire, financial and commercial transactions are
Fedwire CHIPS (Clearing House Interbank Payment System) Book Transfers
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN USD CLEARING
Fedwire
What
Fedwire is a public sector payment network operated by the US Federal Reserve
(FRB) and consists of 12 Federal Reserve Banks located across the US.
Currently there are about 9,000 participating banks (predominantly indigenous US)
and each participant is identified by a 9 digit code (ABA).
Primarily serves the needs of the US domestic payments, but also international for
high-value and/or contract-driven transactions.
It is a real-time gross settlement system – immediate, final and irrevocable with
approx. +/- 550,000 transactions daily.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN USD CLEARING
How
The FRB creates liquidity in the system by establishing a de facto line of credit (known
as a ―debit cap.‖) for each participant which issue payments instructions against their Daylight Overdraft (―DoD‖) at the FRB within this limit.
The Fed charges for intra-day liquidity (the DoD) at the annual rate of 1.5bp per hour
against the average DoD amount, and then credits the recipient bank‘s account.
A $1bn payment resulting in a one hour overdraft cost the sender $416.67 in DoD.
Liquidity Savings Mechanisms (LSMs)
Measures being considered or already introduced to free up intra-day liquidity are called Liquidity Savings Mechanisms (LSMs).
Background
The Federal Reserve Bank first engaged the market in mid-2006 regarding intra-day
liquidity management and its concern about:
Late day concentration of value in Fedwire settlements, resulting in potential bottle-
necks.
Need to free up liquidity to support settlements earlier in the day LSMs have been pursued for:
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN USD CLEARING
CHIPS: pro-active use of supplemental funding to settle pending/ unresolved items
(held by algorithm).
Depository Trust Company: ease return of excess pre-funding amounts back to
participants prior to DTC close.
Fedwire: introduction of collateral to support Fed debit cap.
Introduction of Collateral to support Fed Intra-day Overdraft Change in FRB Payment System Risk (PSR) Policy
In December 2008 the Fed announced the pending introduction of collateral to
support intra-day Fed Debit Cap and secure related Fed daylight overdraft (DOD). The new Payment Systems Risk policy will go into effect in 1Q2011.
Key Changes
Eligible collateral pledged at the Fed discount window will automatically be available
to support Fed DOD exposure. The pledging/use of collateral will remain ‗voluntary‘ but the participant bears a penalty rate if they do not pledge collateral.
Cost associated with Fed DOD which is collateralized is reduced to zero; the cost
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN USD CLEARING
associated with Fed DOD which exceeds available collateral is increased from 1.5bp to 2.1bp per hour, calculated on an annualized basis.
Key Benefits
Reduces the amount of unsecured intra-day credit risk which the Fed is taking on
clearing members.
Helps alleviate the expense impact of Fed DOD charges on clearing participants and
encourage freer and earlier disbursement of large Fedwire payments.
CHIPS (Clearing House Interbank Payment System)What
CHIPS is a private sector payment network, operated by the New York Clearing
House. It services the domestic as well as the cross-border payment needs of 54 US and overseas participant banks, accounting for an estimated 95 percent of all international inter-bank dollar transfers.
It is a continuous real time net settlement system, which uses an algorithm for
bilateral and multi-lateral netting which, with minimal pre-funding, continually offsets and settles payments throughout the day. Payments (+/- 650,000 transactions daily) are matched, netted, and settled, usually in a matter of seconds. How
Opening position requirement is the participant‘s mandatory pre-funding amount at
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN USD CLEARING
their account at the FRB.
Current position reflects changes as payments are received and released intra-day.
The minimum current position allowed is zero while the maximum can be twice the opening position.
If the release of an individual payment message would cause the sending participant‘s
current position to fall below zero, or cause the receiving participant to exceed its maximum, the balanced release algorithm will search for payment messages from the receiving participant to the sending participant. These will be bundled in a batch and netted against the first participant's payment message.

1 Equates to only 56% of our total payment volume. Book transfer rate is 44%
Book transfers
Book transfers are payments made between parties that maintain accounts
at the same bank.
Book transfers are faster, less costly and subject to fewer errors than any
other kind of funds transfer because there is no external payment systems required.
J.P. Morgan probably has the largest correspondent networks in the world,
very often both parties to a transaction maintain J.P. Morgan accounts.
Later payment cut-off time.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN USD CLEARING
Clearing house administrative cost is eliminated. No usage of our Fed Daylight Overdraft Line. J.P. Morgan book transfer approximately 44% of our payment volume.

schedules can be established for each message type.
Codeword: apply deductions when our systems identify the presence of simple code
words payment messages. For MT103 transactions, include BEN or SHA in field 71A. For MT202 transactions, include/Deduct/in field 72.
Transaction reference: apply deductions when our systems identify the presence of
unlimited pre-established reference patterns in payment messages. Clients can establish a customised fee schedule to their most sensitive clients and/or for unique transactions (e.g., trade payments), or suppress fees altogether (e.g., for inter-company payments).

Compliance Profitability Globalization
The world is getting smaller While certain currencies are dominant in global trade, their strength is being leveraged outside of “home turf” to grow local advantage, and new currency players are emerging.
Offshore clearing systems growing in relevance, particularly in Asia Alternative currencies seeking to establish toe-hold in settling regional/global trade RMB and Ruble are potential legitimate alternatives in the medium term. Net Settlement and Central Counterparty initiatives offer substitute solutions to
existing bi-lateral arrangements Corporations are diversifying product lines, requiring larger and more international supplier networks
Burgeoning migration to SWIFT: greater demand for fewer banks to support
migration, complicated by less ―sticky‖ revenues and extensive client integration needs
Greater need for far-reaching, global solutions that don‘t fragment liquidity Population of niche providers increasing to fill capability gap at corporate treasury

Continuous Linked Settlement (Back to Basics)
What is CLS?
A clearing system for the settlement of foreign exchange trades which eliminates settlement risk
between trading counterparties.
What do we mean by settlement risk?
You pay away money in the currency you sold but don‘t receive back the currency you bought. Settlement risk may extend over many days (due to time zone differences between currencies
and reconciliation practices).
The failure of one counterparty in the market may lead to financial consequences for the parties
concerned and other participants in the market as a whole.
How can CLS help?
CLS eliminates counterparty settlement risk by settling trades on a payment versus payment
basis.
It does not eliminate Mark to Market Risk. It results in intra day payment exposure between 3rd Party Members and their chosen
Settlement Bank.
The CLS organisation
Technically a bank, regulated by the US Federal Reserve with operations in the UK. Owned by its member banks and operates as an industry utility—like SWIFT. Began service in September 2002 and has proved to be very reliable.
Trades for settlement through CLS
Eligibility criteria for trade submission and settlement in CLS:
Instrument: Foreign exchange trades, spot or forward, Non Deliverable Forward
Eligible counterparty (settlement member, user member or third party)
In the case of an FX trade, both sides must be in CLS eligible currencies as listed below:
In the case of Non Deliverable Forwards, the settlement currency must be a
CLS eligible currency.
