Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR),
What is The Definition of Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)?
The Short Term Liquidity Ratio (LCR) defines the ratio of highly liquid assets held by a financial institution to ensure its ability to meet short-term obligations. This ratio is primarily a general stress test aimed at anticipating market shocks and ensuring that financial institutions have adequate capital protection to deal with liquidity constraints in the short term.
- LCR requires a Basel III in which banks are required to have sufficiently high quality liquid assets to fund expenses for up to 30 days.
- LCR is a stress test aimed at anticipating market shocks and ensuring that financial institutions have sufficient capital reserves to meet short-term liquidity constraints.
- Of course, only in the next financial crisis will we know whether LCR is a sufficient financial cushion for banks.
