Commission proposes maintaining current liquidity rules to strengthen EU financial markets

The proposed regulation amends Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 on prudential requirements for credit institutions and investment firms. The amendment would render permanent the currently transitory treatment of short‑term securities financing (SFTs) with financial customers for the calculation of the net stable funding ratio (NSFR). This would avoid any lapse in the current treatment and help to ensure an international level playing field in the treatment of short‑term securities financing transactions.

The Commission's proposal will now be reviewed by the European Parliament and the Council.
